Scientific Method – Paper Airplane

From this activity, I learned that it is possible to make a paper airplane go further or not depending on the weight of the plane and how the plane was fabricated. I learnt that if you don’t put as much paperclips on your plane, the weight distribution is not at the best and the paperclips can help. The form of the planes will help because if it is made really poorly, it means that the wings will not be even and it will not look good. And if the wings aren’t even, it means that it will not go in a straight line which will result in a low average.

Next time, the thing that I would do differently is that I think I will do more research on the affect of paperclips and a better form of airplane to make it go further. I will research how weight will affect the overall ride of the plane as I forgot to go in full depth and I would like to make that adjustment for next time.
