Aha...how am I going to do my experiment?

Equipment:

  • A 30cm piece of ribbon

  • 7 pieces of paper

  • A 15 metre tape measure.

  • 2 medium-sized rocks

Method:

  1. Fold all 7 of the plane designs.
  2. Set up equipment as follows:

  3. Stand at the ribbon so that the tip of your front foot is just behind the ribbon.

  4. Throw The Simple Plane into the air with its nose pointing directly to the direction it will be thrown.

  5. Measure the perpendicular distance flown by the plane from the ribbon.

  6. Record the results in a table.

  7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 with The Bird, The Arrow, The Arrow Folds Up, The Arrow Folds Down, The Dart and The Moth.

  8. Repeat steps 3 to 7 two more times.

  9. Discuss and analyse the data collected.

Yes that is my method.....hope that's okay....
