I'm TOO HIGH - Scientific report on paper planes | 5/4/2017, 10/4/2017 and 12/4/17

Aim:
We are trying to make a perfect airplane that can fly the furthest and straightest but to do that we need to understand how airplanes fly and the forces that help it fly as far and as accurate as it can be!

Hypothesis:
I believe that our plane can go far in distance but it might not be about to be as accurate as it we expect. Nathans plane twirls in the wind which makes the accuracy fail... or maybe...

Forces on a paper plane:
When you make the plane lift off there are certain forces that make the plane balance. These forces are lift, gravity, drag, push..

Issac Newtons Laws:

1. Objects continue to move unless an unbalanced force pushes or pulls on them
2 . Force = Mass x Acceleration

Methods:
Nathan made the plane using just a piece of paper... I don't know...

Results
The plane that Nathan made flies really far by it doesn't do straight as I have discovered when Nathan threw the plane

Discussion
I might try to remake Nathans plane so that it can fly straighter and farther

  1. Nice report Zach - a shame not to see a diagram with the forces on it. Also, you should have asked Nathan how he made the plane so you could have put that in your methods. Nice clear headings and layout Zach.

To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A sentence to let us know you actually read/watched or listened to what I had to say
