Heeeeyyyy! Kiya, Kyah, Ashley and Indya in the house!!

__**1-Question**__ How can the amount of tape on the straw affect how the glider flies?

__**2-Hypothesis**__ We think more tape is better for the glider then less tape because it keeps it more balance.

__**3-List of materials**__ -Straws -Grid paper -Lots of tape -Scissors -(netbooks)

__**4&5- size and length+Control variables**__

__**control variables**__ -Length of the straw (20 cm) -Size of the paper -Paper on both ends -smaller paper first bigger paper after. -Back ring 2cm X 7 cm(height) -Front ring 5cm X 18cm (height) .-same amount of tape to hold the paper (3 cm)

__**Dependent variables**__

-Always more then 10 cm of tape -different places on the straw with tape

__**Procedure**__ Put your left foot on the line with your rightfoot in the back Take your glider with you thumb and index finger holding it in the middle - throw glider like a dart until arm totally extended straight in front and let go of the glider straight through. measure straight through of were you glider landed and Record data on a paper.
 * -**Make a straight line on the floor

__**Independent variable**__ Our Independent Variable is the amount of tape that we wrap around the straw.

Glider1 had 5cm of tape Glider2 had 30cm of tape Glider3 had 15cm of tape Glider4 had 10cm of tape Glider5 had 40cm of tape
 * (cm) || Trial1 || Trial2 || Trial3 || Trial4 || Trial5 || Average ||
 * Glider1 || 688 || 630 || 660 || 680 || 668 || 665.2 ||
 * Glider2 || 549 || 670 || 593 || 646 || 542 || 600 ||
 * Glider3 || 350 || 676 || 633 || 714 || 674 || 609.4 ||
 * Glider4 || 486 || 646 || 655 || 551 || 461 || 559.8 ||
 * Glider5 || 489 || 465 || 340 || 486 || 438 || 443.6 ||

Our graph has a pattern comparing glider 1, glider 3 and glider 5 but we have two outliers, glider2 and glider4. Glider 4(10cm of tape) went not has far as glider 3(15cm of tape) even though the graph shows that the less tape you have the farther it goes.
 * __Conclusion__**

We found out that our hypothesis proved wrong because we thought that the more tape you have the farther it goes but our data shows the less tape you have the farther it goes. Glider 1 had 5cm of tape and the average went 665.2 cm and Glider 4 which had the most tape had 40 cm of tape and had a average of 443.6 cm.

Our sources of errors was that we should have been more precise on the way we throw it. And sometimes the glider randomly went in the direction of the wall. And I also suggest to be careful with our gliders to not bend the ring and to put it straight.
