Paper Airplane Lab
Kendall Osborne
Hypothesis:
I think the copy paper will fly the farthest because it's the paper with the medium amount of weight.
Materials:
1 piece of notebook paper
1 piece of copy paper
1 piece of poster board
A ruler
1 piece of copy paper
1 piece of poster board
A ruler
Procedure:
1. Create a paper airplane using all of the types of paper
2. Fly each airplane
3. Measure which plane goes the farthest
2. Fly each airplane
3. Measure which plane goes the farthest
Data:
Notebook paper: 3 feet
Copy paper: 5 feet, 3 inches
Poster board: 1 foot, 2 inches
Copy paper: 5 feet, 3 inches
Poster board: 1 foot, 2 inches
Conclusion:
My hypothesis was correct. The notebook paper flew 3 feet, the copy paper flew 5 feet, 3 inches and the poster board flew 1 foot, 2 inches. The copy paper did fly the farthest so therefore my hypothesis was correct. I believe that this was the outcome because the copy paper wasn't too light or too heavy.
