Summary

When you conduct an experiment you need to make sure all your variables are correct and how they should be to assure the fairness of your test. For example, if you do a test about which type of paper makes the paper airplane fly the furthest, then you need to make sure all the airplanes are thrown the same way. If your first airplane was thrown weak, then you need to re-throw the airplane or throw all the airplanes weak. Also, you need to make sure there is the same amount of wind blowing when you throw. This is what my group found out during our paper airplane experiment.

S&EP: SP6: Constructing explanations and designing solutions:

We constructed explanations and designed solutions by conducting and designing our own experiment.

First we had to think of a question with our group.  Our question was which type of paper makes the paper airplane fly the furthest. Next we had to design and find a way to answer our solution (write our procedure). After we conducted the experiment. We had to do lots of things to make sure the test was fair like cutting he paper to all the same sizes. After we did the experiment, we had to construct our explanations and write/ draw our findings in a conclusion, graph, and data table. After that we wrote our report, put the papers on a poster and finished!
