Paper Airplane Project
By Sebastian Cave and Asher Ardron
What and Why?
We are taking a default
paper airplane (if we kept
testing different airplanes
there would me way too
many variables), then
changing a certain
variable to see how much
it affects the distance,
then make a Weebly
website to publish our
results.
Our Variables:
1. Wing Hole-Punched
2. Large Hole in Wing
3. Weight in Front
4. Weight in Back
5. Crumpled Wing
6. 2 Pencils In Plane
Wing Hole-Punched
Large Hole in Wing
These variables are exactly what their titles say.
For the hole punch, we simply hole punch the
wing. For the large hole, we will make a hole
around the size of a golf ball in the wing of the
plane
Weight in Front
Weight in Back
Like the first two variables, these are also simple. We
will put a weight of half a gram to a gram in the front or
back of the airplane to see how it effects the flight.
Crumpled Wing
Pencils In Plane
For this variable, we will test a plane with a single
crumpled wing. We will also put 2 pencils inside the
body of a plane, and see how it flies.
