Come Fly with Me

Mrs. Wongs Science class is doing a project with three paper airplanes. For this assignment student are supposed to create a hypothesis, design procedures, complete two graphs, and write a conclusion that explains results related to the question. Their question is, "how does the weight of paper affect how far a paper airplane will fly?"

Many students set up their experiments by going into the hallway and marking a point on the floor where they were going to first throw their airplanes. After they had thrown their airplane they would pull the measuring tape to where the airplane landed then record their data. They repeated those steps with the other two airplanes. Next, they made a graph to show their data. Finally, they wrote a conclusion.

Students had a lot of fun in the hallways testing out their paper airplanes. Students can't wait for their next project!
