Erik recorded data from throwing a dart-nose paper airplane with different modifications. He made 6 throws: the first with no changes, then adding a paper clip, adjusting the elevators down or up, and combining modifications. His prediction that the first throw would go farthest and longest was incorrect, as the second throw went farthest due to the added paper clip helping it slide farther, while the first stayed aloft the longest with no modifications.

1. Data of Dart Nose Paper Airplane Throws By: Erik Halenkamp

2. Procedure: I will throw the dart-nose airplane and record the time aloft and the distance traveled. Prediction: I think the first throw will go the farthest and the longest because there will be no changes made. SLOF (Part 1)

3. Before I do my throws, I will have to make changes to the airplane. 1st Throw: No changes made 2nd Throw: Paper clip added 3rd Throw: Elevators down 4th Throw: Elevators down and paper clip added. 5th Throw: Elevators up. 6th Throw: Elevators up and paper clip added. The Changes Made

4. The Distance Traveled

5. The Time Aloft

6. Observation: The 2nd throw went the farthest. But the first throw went in the air the longest. Evaluation: I think the second throw went the longest because the paper clip made the plane slide longer. The first throw went the longest in the air because there were no changes made. SLOF (Part 2)
