Paper Planes

LI: to use statistical and scientific methods to study the effect of the wing span.
We measured the flight distance of the planes and we recorded the flight distance. The type of graph we used was the scatter chart. One person had to throw the planes at the same strength. We used the trend line to show how high and low the planes flow. All of our planes didn't fly as well. The reasons for that could be that the plane was thrown to hard or soft and it was folded incorrectly. My interpretation as the wingspan gets bigger the flight distance is still the same.

If food waste increases the gas will increase too, which will cause climate change. There are people that needs food to survive that's why Michel created this business.
