Yes, weight may affect a paper airplane by increasing its mass. This may alter its glide ratio and change its wing loading.
The mass of a paper airplane is equal to the sheet of paper it is constructed out of, plus any additional materials.
Yes.
The peice of paper compares to the paper airplane because they both have the same mass. Whether a paper is flat,folded in half or is shaped into a fancy paper boat it will always have the same amount of mass.

Paper, because it is much lighter, and a foil airplane will take up much more mass.

Drag effects paper airplane just as it affects anything else that moves. It is either parasitic or induced on paper airplanes. Drag may reduce a paper airplanes speed and/or range.
A fixed wing aircraft generates forward thrust when air is pushed in the direction opposite to flight. It is proportional to the mass of the airstream.
The Wright Model B airplane was the first mass-produced airplane.
(Let me get out my science fair packet) State the Problem (Testable Question): "What is the effect of --independent variable)--- (have) on the ---(dependent variable)--- of/in ---(Your object or system you are studying)---?" So, for an example: "What effect will added mass have on the flight distance of a paper airplane?" (Avoid questions that can be answered with a yes or no. I think this is obvious, just the packet says to do so. Keep in mind, this packet is for my Honors science class in 8th grade, which is around a middle school through high school level of instruction.)
