__**Question:**__ Will the length of the straw affect how it flies?

__**Hypothesis:**__ If we make the straw shorter it will less further then the prototype.Because the air will go through the rings faster so it won't fly as long.

__**Materials:**__

Graph paper Straw's Scotch tape scissors

1. The length and width of the front and back rings are to stay the same. 2. All of them should have a cut edge. 3. The rings must be aligned. 4. All of them must be throun at the same angle. 5. At tthe same height. 6. In the same environment. 7. position of the fingers.

__**Characteristics of Prototype:**__ __**Back Ring**__ length 14cm by 4cm width with 1cm overlap

__**Front Ring**__ length 6cm by 2cm width with 1cm overlap

The straw is taped on the inside of rings

The length of the straw 17.6cm

Front ring sticks out of ring by 1cm Back ring is taped to the end of the straw

Distance between the rings: 10.8 cm
