Continue writing notes on the left side :
Paper Airplanes• Write “Paper Airplanes Experiment” and
underline it.
• The next slide has a lot of information…..• You will only be taking notes today, so write all
notes thoroughly and completely to help you complete our activities on Wednesday and Thursday
Purpose: How can I make this airplane fly farther.
Research: I know that paper airplanes fly better when: they have wing flaps; I use tape; and they have some kind of “nose.”
Hypothesis: I think that airplanes with pointed noses will fly farther than ones with square noses
Experiment: 1) Make 2 paper airplanes that are mostly the same. 2) Make one nose square. 3) Throw each plane 10 times. 4) Measure the distance they go. 5) Make a graph.
Analysis: My graph shows that the plane with the square nose went farther than the pointed nose one… Conclusion: My hypothesis was wrong. I thought that the pointed-nose airplane would go farther, but actually, the square-nose one went farther.
Cut and Sort Activity
• You will work with your table partner to complete this activity
Cut and Sort Activity
• Each table will receive a set of directions • Follow each step as we go over
them together as a whole group• Follow along…. Step 1
Cut and Sort Activity (right side)your page should look like this
Scientific MethodSteps
Example 1 -Airplanes Example 2 -
Flowers
Cut and Sort Activity (right side)
• Follow along as we continue with the step 2 directions….
• You will each cut out the Scientific Method Steps
• You will work with your table partner to put these in the correct order
• As a pair, you must agree on the order• Once you agree, glue them in the Scientific
Method column
Cut and Sort Activity
• Follow the directions and complete the cut and sort for:
• Example 1 – Airplanes
• Example 2 – Flowers
Cut and Sort Activity
• You should now have all three columns filled
• Let’s go over these together….
• We will now begin our next group activity….
