Our Science Experiment

Playing/ Observing/ Inference:

It was falling at a good pace, but I wanted to see what would happen if I added
more weight.

Developing a Question:

What will happen if I add more weight to my helicopter?

Making a Hypothesis:

The more Paper Clips on my helicopters, the faster it will fall to the ground. The
first one with one paper clip will spin faster.

Creating a Method/ Collecting Data:

1. Get 3 helicopters

2. Put 1 paper clip on the first helicopter

3. Put 2 paper clips on the second helicopter

4. Put 3 paper clips on the third helicopter.

the first.
Fell at a

good pace.

Analyise Data:
According to my results, helicopter #3 was the heaviest and it just fell to the
ground. Helicopter #1 which had on paper clip was perfect but slow. Helicopter #2
fell a little faster than the first but still spun.

Draw Conclusion:

My hypothesis was disproved because number one was slower than the second
one.

Theory:

The more weight you add the faster it will fall to the ground.

Playing/ Observing/ Inference:

I saw that the helicopters with the largest wings took a while to go and

Question 2:

What would happen if the wing sizes would be different?

Making a Hypothesis:

I think that all of my helicopters would fall at different paces.

Method:

Get 3 helicopters

1st Big wings

2nd Small body Big wings

3rd Normal

Pace #1 #2 #3
Fall Faster This was the fastest
with the smallest

Fall Slower The one with the This one was slow
 biggest wings falls but it was still
the slowest out of faster than the 1st
all the others one.

Analyze Data:

According to my results the fastest one was #2 because it had a smaller body and
that meant that there was not a lot of weight. I think that #1 was the slowest
because it had really big wings and it had a normal body that had some weight. #3
was slower than the 2nd one but it was faster than the 1st one.

Draw Conclusion:

My Hypothesis was proved right because all of the helicopters fell at different
paces because of their weight.
