Which type of paper will allow a paper airplane to fly
farthest?
ResearchResearch
• This Experiment was based on the research of aerodynamics.
HypothesisHypothesis
• If I create a paper airplane out of copy paper then, I think it will fly the farthest.
Independent and Independent and DEPENDENT VARIABLESDEPENDENT VARIABLES
• Independent: Type of paper used.• Dependent: Length in inches of how far the paper
airplane flies.

ConclusionConclusion
• After three trials with different After three trials with different types of paper I’ve come to the types of paper I’ve come to the conclusion that copy paper is the conclusion that copy paper is the best out of all three, thus best out of all three, thus proving my hypothesis to be proving my hypothesis to be correct.correct.

ConclusionConclusion
• After three trials of testing with After three trials of testing with three different types of design I three different types of design I came to the conclusion that the came to the conclusion that the dragon airplane flies best, thus dragon airplane flies best, thus proving my hypothesis incorrect.proving my hypothesis incorrect.

ConclusionConclusion
• After three trials on this After three trials on this experiment I came to the experiment I came to the conclusion that using the less conclusion that using the less weight put upon a paper plane , weight put upon a paper plane , the more it allows for it to fly.the more it allows for it to fly.
