Paper Planes


Aim:
We are trying to make a plane the flies straight.
We are going to make a run way for the plane to fly down.

Hypothesis:
I think the plane will fly will fly 7 metres out of 8 1/2 metres.

Forces On Paper Planes:
If the forces on my paper plane are balanced it will travel straight. I can see this in this force diagram

Make a paper plane by using a piece of paper.


Results:
Our plane flu 6.67m in a straight line and we came in third.
We had fun and hope to do this again.

Discussion:
how to make a good paper plane
To make the plane fly straight you will need to make sure your paper is even and the tip of the plane is pointy and the wings are even and it will fly straight.
Good luck and have fun.

  1. Good job Alayna, you have once again written a clear report which explains to someone exactly how they could copy what you have done - which is important in science.
