Scientific Method & Paper Airplanes

Some background information about the paper airplanes, a good way to throw is about a 45 degree angle up. Another fact about paper airplanes is the farthest a paper airplane has ever went is 226 feet, 10 inches.When you throw the plane forward, that movement is called thrust. My hypothesis for our paper airplanes was that the long distance paper glides would go the furthest because of it’s long glides that will help it stay in the air. The materials we used for the paper were 3 pieces of white 8 x 11 papers. The three planes we used for this investigation was the hammer, the original paper plane and long distance paper glides. When we went to throw the three paper airplane. The hammer flew for 6.35 m. The original model for the paper airplane flew 7.32 m. long glides paper airplane flew for 7.06 m.                                                                                                        

                                                         (hammer=6.66m) (original=7.45m) (long distance=7.19m)
