Maths

L.I to use statistical and scientific methods to study the effect on wingspan and area on lift

We learnt how to make graphs to study how far each plane travels. We had 10 variations of planes to test, which ranged from a 2 cm wingspan to a 20 cm wingspan. The plane that traveled the shortest distance was the 2 cm plane, the plane that traveled the furthest distance was the 18 cm plane.

 Our interpretation is that the bigger the wingspan the further the plane goes but when it reaches a certain limit the plane will not go as far as the others. I think one of our mistakes was that some of the planes were thrown harder than others for example the 18 cm plane and the 14 cm plane.
