LI: to use statistical and scientific methods to study the effect of wingspan and area 

on lift.

For term 4 we are studying aerodynamics. We learnt what variables are as well as 

independent and dependent variables. 

Our task this week was to create 12 paper/origami planes focusing on one certain design 

and studying each aspect of the design and which part of the paper planes are important 

and how they affect launch and flight.

A variable is a feature of an object or thing that can change between multiple types of 

the object/item. An independent variable is unchanged by other variables or will not be 

changed by other aspects or assets of a variable. A dependent variable is depends on 

another factor in order to be changed.
