Hypothesis: if we throw “Pete’s Paper Airplane”, then will fly the farthest because it is the longest and most thin plane

Experiment: we wanted to see if the shape of the plane would affect how far it goes. we used 3 planes (1st Rapier, 2nd Nick’s Paper Plane, 3rd Pete’s Paper Plane). we built all our planes with the same 8.5″ x 11″ paper and we threw each plane 5 times.

Results: Pete’s Paper Plane flew the farthest with an average of 14 meters. Nick’s Paper Plane flew the second farthest with an average of 9 meters. Lastly the Rapier flew the shortest distance with an average of 6 meters.

Summary: our hypothesis was accepted. the longest plane flew the furthest distance each time we threw it.
