A student is conducting an experiment to determine whether a construction paper air plane will fly faster than an airplane made from notebook paper. What would be an appropriate hypothesis?
If I make a paper airplane from notebook paper, then it will fly faster than construction paper.
If I throw an airplane, it will fly.
If I fold the airplane a special way, then it will fly the furthest.
I think the construction paper air plane will fly faster.
