Paper Plane Experiment

Front

What is a hypothesis?

Back

A hypothesis is a testable statement or prediction about the relationship between two or more variables.

Front

What is the independent variable in an experiment?

Back

The independent variable is the factor that is manipulated or changed by the researcher to observe its effect on the dependent variable.

Front

What is the dependent variable in an experiment?

Back

The dependent variable is the factor that is measured or observed in response to changes in the independent variable.

Front

What are control variables?

Back

Control variables are factors that are kept constant throughout an experiment to ensure that any changes in the dependent variable are due to the independent variable.

Front

What is quantitative data?

Back

Quantitative data is numerical information that can be measured and expressed in numbers, such as distance, height, or weight.

Front

What is qualitative data?

Back

Qualitative data is descriptive information that cannot be measured numerically, such as color, texture, or smell.

Front

How does the folding method affect the flight of a paper plane?

Back

The folding method can change the aerodynamics of the plane, affecting how far and straight it flies.

Front

Why is it important to have a control group in an experiment?

Back

A control group provides a baseline for comparison, helping to determine the effect of the independent variable.

Front

What is the purpose of conducting an experiment?

Back

The purpose of conducting an experiment is to test a hypothesis and gather data to support or refute it.

Front

What is the significance of measuring how far a paper plane travels?

Back

Measuring the distance a paper plane travels helps quantify the effect of different variables on its performance.
