Science 10 – Scientific Method & Paper Airplanes

For this assignment I chose to test the affects of weight placement on a paper airplane and its’ ability to travel the farthest distance. Each plane was built the exact same way on 8 x 11 inch paper. The weight added to the airplane was a singular paper clip taped to the aircraft. The difference between each airplane is the placement of the paper clip (front, middle, and back). I lightly threw each plane five times then averaged out my results in distance to accurately answer my question and test my hypothesis to the best of my ability. In conclusion, the hypothesis, if I use a paper plane with a paper clip in the middle then it will fly the farthest because of the balanced weight is accepted. The data shows that the average distance wth the paper clip in the middle was the largest with 4.36m whereas, in the front was the least with 2.57m and in the back was in between the two with 3.33m. The results of this investigation are useful because they demonstrate the importance and affects of weight placement on an aircraft. However, this investigation can be improved by finding a way to throw the planes using identical force because as much as I tried to keep the force the same, I am only human so evidently the force cannot be identical. Other questions that need to be answered are the weight to plane ratios and which will be most affective for flying the longest distance.
