What is the Scientific Method?
Scientific Method ActivityWith a partner (only one other person):1. Wear safety glasses.2. Make folds in a sheet of paper to make
an airplane design.3. NO SHARP POINTS on front of airplane.4. Toss (below the waist) it & see how it
flies.5. Change it slightly by folding a wing.6. Toss it again (below the waist).7. Analyze and Conclude (next slide)
Analyze and Conclude: Due at end of Period
(Answer on a separate piece of paper, 1/group)1. Observing: Describe and draw the
changes you made, and the differences in flight before you changed the wings and after.
2. Predicting: If you made a greater fold in the wing, would it fly differently? Explain in detail why or why not.
3. Conclusions: Can you change the design without a corresponding change in flight? Explain in detail why or why not?
