Which type of paper airplane goes the farthest

PurposeThe reason we are doing this project is to see which

airplane goes the farthest.

HypothesisWe think that the dart will go the farthest because of the way its built. It is built light and skinny.

The MaterialspenA measuring tape3 pieces of printer papercomputerExcel program1 piece of note book paper

The ProceduresFirst we got instruction on how to make the dart,

glider, and the whiskered dartThen we laid the tape measure down the hallThen we got a notebook for our trialsThen we took the dart plane and flew it three

timesThen we recorded how far it went each timeThen we took the glider and flew it three timesThen we recorded how far it went each timeAnd finally we flew the whiskered dart plain three

times Then we recorded how far it went each time

ConclusionOur hypothesis was right. Because the dart went

the farthest all three times. The farthest it went was 23feet 6 inches. The farthest the glider went was 10 feet 9 inches. And the farthest the whiskered dart went was 11 feet 1 inch. If we were to do this again we would try 2 different type of plains. But we would keep the dart.

the paper air plane book. We would also thank the school for the paper. And Mrs. Ledbetter for the tape mesure.
