Tyrone and Valerie wanted to determine what feature of a paper airplane would cause it to fly the farthest. Tyrone made his airplane with wider wings than Valerie’s airplane. Valerie’s airplane had shorter wings, and the plane was also narrower and longer than Tyrone’s. After testing the two airplanes several times, the evidence shows that Tyrone’s airplane flew farther through the air than Valerie’s airplane. 1. Describe why the investigation above is not adequate to explain which airplane feature caused Tyrone’s airplane to fly farther than Valerie’s. It is not adequate because the scientific method was not used to conduct this experiment. If they wanted to conduct this experiment right they should use the same paper make it the same length and then they could vary the wind span. So all in there is to many variables to conduct this experiment. 2. Using what Tyrone and Valerie have already observed, suggest a possible hypothesis regarding one feature of a paper airplane. Identify the independent and dependent variables. I think Tyrone flew further because he had a wider wing span then Valerie. Independent variable for this experiment is the wing span. The dependent variable is where they flew the airplane and what paper they used. 3. Describe, in detail, a procedure to test your hypothesis. Identify the controlled variables. First I would make to paper airplanes but of the same paper. One would have a longer wing span and one would have a shorter wing span. Then I would go to a room that had no wind and I would throw each paper airplane 3 times to get accurate results then I would combine them to get my result on witch plane flew the farthest. Part2~ Purpose: My question is I wonder witch type of water will freeze the fastest tap, salt, or bottled. Research: To research this I would look at forums, google or discovery. I would look up the
