LI: to use statistical and scientific methods to study the effect of wing span and area on lift

This term we tried different paper plane models, tested and studied their effect of the wingspan and area on lift and flight. The plane model I made was a Sonic Star which was a dart plane. 

We had to throw our paper planes ten times and calculate the average distance. We found the average by adding all the measurements up and dividing it by ten. In groups we made a graph with a trend-line to see if the wingspan had effected the distance of flight by the plane.
