  1. Flight PlaneInvestigation 3

  2. Question How many winds of the propeller do you think it will take to fly your plane the full length of the flight line?

  3. Hypothesis 1. It would take ________ winds of my propeller to get to the end of my flight line. 2. It would take ____________ winds to get my plane halfway down the flight line.

  4. Procedure Materials: propeller, hook, straws, rubber band, sticks, hole punch, scissors, stapler, sandpaper, flight line • Construct plane • Set up flight line • Conduct flight

  5. Results 1st flight __________ winds ___________cm 2nd flight __________ winds ___________cm 3rd flight __________ winds ___________cm

  6. conclusion

  7. Variables • What are some possible variables that would affect the outcome of winds it would take the plane to get to the other end of the flight line? • Conduct Design and Experiment using different variables

  8. Results of variables • Variable changed – What happened to flight of the planewhen you changed the variable?

  9. vocabulary • System – a set of objects that are working together (ex: plane and flight line) • Independent Variable – what we know before the conducting the test • Dependent Variable – what we find out when we conduct the test • Standard Experiment – • Controlled Experiment –

  10. Reflection • List three things I learned during the experiment. • Name two things that surprised me during the investigation. • List one question you still have.
