Five Star Gliders. Carmen, Hayley, Sydney & Princess:)

//**QUESTION:**// will changing the width of the front ring change the way it will glide?

HIPOT//** HESIS :**// if we increase the width of the front ring it will glid farther

__//**MATERIALS:**//__ 5 straws (any kind) 3 sheets of graph paper scissors and tape.

**//__CONTROL VARIBLES :__//**
 * The back wing stays the same.
 * The straw size should stay the same.
 * Everything should be the same height.
 * The postion of the fingers should stay the same.

**//__INDEPENDENT VARABLE ;__//** Width of the front wing. __//**DEPENDENT VARABLE :**//__ Distance of gliders flight. __Front wing;__ 1 cm x 8cm
 * //__ CHARCTERISTICS OF PROTOTYPE ;__//**

__Back wing;__ 11cm x 4cm

The straw is taped to the inside of the wings.

Theres no overlaps on either the wings.


 * //__ DISTANCE BETWEEN THE RINGS :__//** 13cm.

__**Procedure**__ Hold your glider 90 degrese to yoru shoulder. Put your finger close to the back ring. Step on a line and then through softly across the room. Measure and write down on your table. **__OBSERVATIONS:__**

From looking at the chart I can say that our hypothesis was not true,by increasing the width of the front ring the
==gliding distances actully decrased. The graph does not have a clear patteren, becausen glider 1s distance was far(329) ,then the next one was lower(204) ,Then the 3rd gliders was the hightest (406) ,And the 4th one was lower than that(270) .== SOURSE OF ERROR. WE MAY OF HAD ERRORS BEACUSE HAYLEY MAY OF THROUGH IT HARDER OR SOFTER OR WHEN SHE THOUGH IT, IT KEEPED HITTING THE CELLING AND WALLS. AND WE DIDNT MAKE ALL THE GLIDERS THE EXACT SAME, MABEEY SHE DIDNT THROUGHT IT AT THE SAME ANGLE EVERY TIME. SHE ALSO COULD OF BEEN DISTRACTED AND THREW IT DIFERENTLY.
