What design of paper airplane flyies the farthest¬?

Hypothesis

I believe that the wider the wing span the farther it will fly and that the shorter the wing span the least farther it will go.

Procedures

1) Create 8 different types of paper airplanes using http://www.origami-kids.com/

2) Go to the gym to throw the paper airplanes

3) Measure the distance from the point thrown

4) Throw each paper airplane five times recording everything

5) Create a graph

Materials

 8.5 x 11 inches plain copy paper

 Computer

 Paper

 Pencil

 Measuring tape

Variables

 Independent test variable

 The different types of paper airplanes

 Dependent test variable

 The distance the paper airplanes fly

 Controlled test variables

 The strength used to throw the paper airplane

 The setting (place, temp., climate, and wind)

 Amount of times each paper airplane is thrown

Results

Original got the first place. The second was Wide Fenix; the third X-Hunter; the forth Needle; the fifth Fly; the sixth X-Glider; the seventh FF2; the eighth Mouse.

Conclusión

Overall, my test results did not support my hypothesis. The winner, the Original, did not have a wide wing span. The second place, Wide Fenix, did have a wide wing span, but the third and fourth place did not have a wide wing span. Therefore, a wider wing span was not a key factor for longer travel distant
