In part 2 of the project, during Modules 6 and 7, you will build and flight test models of each of your chosen glider designs.
Download and review the Paper Airplane Project Glider Design Testing Instructions (DOCX) Download Paper Airplane Project Glider Design Testing Instructions (DOCX)and Paper Airplane Project Glider Design Testing Worksheet (DOCX) Download Paper Airplane Project Glider Design Testing Worksheet (DOCX)documents.
Utilize the scientific method to build and flight test each of your glider designs, following the instructions outlined in the instructions document and completing the design and testing worksheet.
In the worksheet, for each design, state which test plane performed the best along with the average distance or time of that plane.
Then, summarize some results and conclusions based on the data and calculations from the testing of each design. Include some comparison of the flight characteristics of the best performing glider of each design to the other test gliders of the same design.
Discuss the degree of trust you have in the results based on the variability, uncertainty, and error in the testing. Also include an evaluation of the correctness of the hypotheses for each plane design, providing justification for the evaluation based on the testing.
