Problem: Does making the straw longer make the glider fly farther?
=Materials:Straw,paper,scissors,tape,measuring tape to measure distance.=

Proceudre:
1st: Cut out a piece of graph paper thats 5x12. 2nd: Tape it to make a circle, but only tape it over the first squares. 3rd: Take 2 and a half inch scotch tape and place it on horizontal on the straw while its vertical. 4th:Cut a piece of graph paper thats 6x22. 5th:Tape it to make a circle, but only tape it over the first squares .
 * || 1st Try  ||  2nd Try  ||  3rd Try  ||  Average  ||
 * A 17cm ||  480cm  ||  413cm  ||  400cm  ||  431cm  ||
 * B 14cm ||  350cm  ||  416cm  ||  543cm  ||  403cm  ||
 * C 11cm ||  3306cm  ||  309cm  ||  281m  ||  299cm  ||
 * D 8cm ||  114cm  ||  131cm  ||  90cm  ||  112cm  ||
 * Prototype 20cm ||  580cm  ||  591cm  ||  481cm  ||  553cm  ||



=﻿Conclusion: Our hypothesis was right the longer the straw the farther it went. When the straw size was only 8cm it went an average of 112cm, but when the straw size was 20 cm it went an average of 553cm.= =﻿Sources of error: We couldn't control how hard we threw it, or if we threw it the exact same way every time.=
