Introduce students to the steps of the scientific method by conducting an experiment in paper airplane flights. Choose two different designs of airplanes (e.g. different fold patterns or adding weights like a paperclip to the nose). During the hypothesis phase ask students which airplane they think will travel farthest, and have them report their hypothesis using SAS DataFly. Then complete the experiment. Each student should throw both types of airplanes and note which airplane traveled farthest. Use the same DataFly session to collect their actual results. Discuss how the hypothesis and actual results varied. What did they discover? **IMPORTANT NOTE** Enable multiple selections from the same device so that students can answer twice.
Question 1: Which step of the Scientific Method are you on?
Question 2: Which airplane will/did go farther?
