Paper+Airplane+Example



=Paper Airplane Experiment=


 * Question:** Do the number of holes affect how far a paper airplane will fly?
 * Hypothesis:** If a paper airplane has fewer holes, then it will fly farther.
 * Materials:** two sheets of notebook paper, a hole puncher
 * Procedure:**
 * 1) Fold two paper airplanes. Make sure they are the same design.
 * 2) Use a hole puncher to punch two holes in one of the planes. Punch 12 holes in the other plane.
 * 3) Take the planes to an open place and throw them five times. Make sure you are throwing from the same place each time.
 * 4) Make a note of which plane goes farther each time on a data table. No measuring!
 * 5) Draw conclusions.


 * Results:** The paper airplane that had two holes flew farther in four of the five trials.


 * || Trial 1 || Trial 2 || Trial 3 || Trial 4 || Trial 5 ||
 * 2 holes || X || X ||  || X || X ||
 * 12 holes ||  ||   || X ||   ||   ||


 * Conclusion statement**: Paper airplanes with fewer holes fly farther.
