Science Fair

I think the parents should get a grade for science fair projects, it seems I spent a whole lot more time than Rylan did on getting this done.
"Do The Number Of Folds In A Paper Airplane Affect The Distance That It Will Travel?"

HYPOTHESIS:
Paper Airplanes created with a larger number of folds will have a decrease in the amount of distance they will travel.

To do this project we folded 6 planes in different ways, from 5 to 10 folds. Then went to the curch to fly them and see how far each plane would travel on an average.





Once we got the data we assembled a report on the experiment and what he had learned about planes.

Here's the report, you can click on an image to see it larger if you can't read it on your screen:






With the report all done, the last part was to put together the display board:
We placed all the planes we used on the middle of the board....

Photos and documentation went on the sides.

  2. I bet you're glad that's over! I HATED the Science Fair when I was younger, and am not looking forward when the kids get to experience it...
