Matthew Graterol Abstract

The purpose of the project is to learn more about aerodynamics. Human have always wanted to take flight, but have they ever wanted to learn about it? The project is about how different paper materials have different weight and fly a differently when the plane is flying. The hypothesis is that the heaver the paper and the rough matirial will slow it down and fall faster, But the thinner piece of paper and the smooth matirials will make it go faster. The matirials that are needed are paper airplane launcher, different types of paper, and measuring tape. A way to test it is to go to a empty court and put your measuring tape by your side. After that launch the paper plane and messure the distance from you and the plane. Do this with every piece of paper you have. My conclusion is that the thinner piece of paper went farther and that also answered the hypothesis.
