Maths | Aerodynamics

LI: to use statistical and scientific methods to study the effect of wing span and area on lift.
In maths we are learning about aerodynamics and paper planes. This time we were learning about the independent and dependent variables. Independent variables are parts that can be changed without changing anything else, while the dependent variable depends on changing something else to change it. We had to figure out how many paper planes we were going to make. Then we to think of what our variable would be ( the thing you change ), our variable was going to be the wingspan. We made ours from 2cm - 18 cm. We also had to record our data on a sheet.
