Paper Plane Measurement



Paper Plane Measurement 
On Tuesday I started to make my paper plane and my first plane made it 0.3 metres and I only stretched the rubber band  5 cm.  So...

I tested my planes and on the second test it got 3 metres when I stretched the rubber band 10 cm, and so stretched the rubber band to 15 cm and my plane flew  5.5 metres.  Brilliant it worked !!

 I took a little break but we are moving on. so I stretched the rubber band to 20 cm that didn't go well. It landed in the wet grass and it got waterlogged (Heavy with water) but… it went 7.9 metres yeah I waited for 10 mins for it to dry out.

Next! 25 cm this one went well it travelled 9.5 metres,30 cm now that went 11.9 metres. So in the end wait,wait,wait you thought that was the end  i’m just getting started.

 It turns out that there was a second version (another set of measurements to follow I called it trial 2).  These are the measurements and results for trial 2.  
2cm = 0.2
3cm =0.4
4cm =1.2
5cm =1.8
10cm = 2.7
15cm =4.7
I enjoyed this project and
I was suprised how much
fun it was to write about
the two trials.

  1. You have done a lot of work on your plane! I really enjoyed reading how you conducted your investigation! 11.6 metres is a long way! Your graphs look great too! Exactly how I would expect them to go up. The line makes a sort of straight line! Perfect. Ka Pai Khan! 😎
