  1. Bugs-O-Copter Add this title to your Science Log TOC as #4.

  2. Question: How does changing one part of the Bugs-O-Copter affect its flight? • Hypothesis: (leave 2 lines blank to come back and fill in) • Procedures: • Cut out one Bugs-O-Copter • Separate the ears by cutting the solid line between them • Make the Bugs-O-Copter • Bend one ear forward and one ear backwards • Slip a paper clip on the bottom • Practice dropping the Bugs-O-Copter several times to see if it flies • Drop it three times, measuring its time in the air in seconds using a stopwatch. Be sure to drop it the same way and from the same height each time! • Cut out the second Bugs- O- Copter- It must be cut out exactly like the first one • Change one thing about the Bugs-O-Copter. This one thing that you are changing will be the independent variable. (Example- Fold only one of the ears or fold the body up) • Drop the second Bugs three more times and record the times and the average.

  3. Analyze Data: Describe what happened in the experiment. Record qualitative and quantitative observations. 1. Should the same person do the timing each time? Why? 2. Should the same person drop the copter each time? Why? 3. What was the one thing that you changed with the second copter (the independent variable) 4. What was the effect of the change ( the dependent variable)? The independent variable caused the Experimental Bugs to fly _____________. 5. Name as many controls as you can in this activity (at least 4 controls). Conclusion: What did you learn in this experiment? My hypothesis was ______________ because ___________________. Any questions you might have about future experiments?
