The hypothesis, when plane 1 (origami plane) is thrown it will travel farther because the design is more aerodynamic is rejected. The data shows that plane 1’s design did not travel the farthest distance. It was plane 2 that had the best results and glided through the air the furthest. The results of this investigation are useful in case you ever need to win a paper airplane competition. This investigation can be improved by having a more open space area, by making sure there is enough room for the airplanes to move without hitting the wall. Also, making sure there is no wind/breezes effecting the path of the plane. Anther questions that needs to be answered, what would happen if you put weights on the plane?

I learned how to fold new types of airplane during this lab. Also, how to calculate le average distance. Lastly, I learned a new way to write a lab.
