-Using too heavy paper makes plane more resistant to the wind but create more dragon the air and limits planes flight.
-Smooth surfaces prolong flight and air distance.]]> 2017-06-05 23:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jj84590/3083ak8dgwfx/wish/175298770 Materials jj84590 https://padlet.com/jj84590/3083ak8dgwfx/wish/175299271 -(1)Computer paper

-Computer paper (lightweight  paper)
-Construction paper (medium weight paper)
-Cardstock (heavyweight paper)
2-Label each plane A,B and C.
3-Use chalk to mark starting point of where you will throw each airplane. 
4-Throw airplane A 3 times from starting point. 
5-Mark where it lands on sidewalk after each throw.
6-Use tape measure to measure the distance the plane flew after each throw. 
7-Record distance after each throw.
8-Repeat steps 4-7 for planes B and C

Plane and trial number  | Distance
A1 (light weight paper) | 276 in.
A2 (light weight paper) | 259 in.
A3 (light weight paper) | 286 in.
B1 (medium weight paper) | 214 in.
B2 (medium weight paper) | 240 in.
B3 (medium weight paper) | 226 in.
C1 (heavy weight paper) | 186 in.
C2  (heavy weight paper) | 146 in.

-The farthest flight was 286 inches by A3.
-The average distance for Plane A is 274 in. 
-The average distance for Plane B is 235 in.
-The average distance for Plane C is 152 in.

I made 3 paper airplanes out of 3 different types of paper and I found out the lighter the paper the and farther the plane's flight.  When I flew plane C for the first time the nose of the plane got pushed in which could have affected the last two trials for that plane. To make this experiment better in the future  I could use different paper airplane designs and see if I get the same results. Now I wonder if I kicked different soccer balls with different weight  how far would they go…...  ]]> 2017-06-06 00:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jj84590/3083ak8dgwfx/wish/175300773 Biography jj84590 https://padlet.com/jj84590/3083ak8dgwfx/wish/176407150 BIBLIOGRAPHY
