Which paper air plane will fly farther depending on the type of paper it is made from..
Big Questions
I think that paper air plane A. will fly the farthest because it is the lightest
Hypothesis
How far the plane fly’s depends no the (weight) of the plane and it’s (glider).
In order to make the planes fly at the same speed you must make a (launcher).
The planes must be launched in a wide open spaces so they can fly to there best abilities
All paper air planes are arrow dynamic. Photo paper is the best paper to make a
paper air plane.
Interesting Facts
Experiment How fast I through
them. The weight of the
plane. How big the paper
was.
Materials Plane A. printing paper Plane B. construction
paper Plane C. matt photo
paper Plane D. glossy photo
paper Rubber band Plane E. cardboard Launcher
Steps First: You need to make more then one
paper air plane but the paper air planes most be made from different types of paper.
Second: You most make a launcher so that the planes fly at the same speed.
Third: You need to launch the planes. Whichever plane fly’s the farthest will be the answer to your question.

The Launcher
Darts
Experiment Demonstration
OBSERVATIONS The planes did fly differently because they
didn’t weigh the same. All observations are on the data. Pictures of the experiment are posted above.

Data:
Analysis Of Data Did the experiment test my hypothesis?
Yes it did test it. How do I know?
I found my hypothesis to be wrong by doing the experiment
Conclusion
No, my hypothesis was not correct. I would have liked to do it outside with no walls
blocking the flight of the planes. One of the new questions I have is what would
be the answer to my question if I did it outside? - Would it change or would it be the same?
References I got the idea from my friends learning lab I
would like to thank my mom and dad for helping me finish the project. I also want to thank Miss Crane for letting me change my project. There are a few other set people would like to thank is the learning lab for giving me a easier one than the first one. Thank you !
