Question: Will the # of paperclips on the nose of a paper airplane cause the plane to fly farther? Hypothesis: 5 paperclips on the nose of a paper airplane will make he plane fly farther than with 3,1,or 0 paperclips on the nose. Experiment: Make paper airplanes and fly them with 0 paperclips on the nose. Repeat this test 3 times. Record about how many meters each test flew. Repeat this with 1 paper clip, than 3 paperclips, and finally 5 paperclips. Analyse: Record the average of the 3 tests. write down the steps you took in completing the experiment. Also write down the controlled, dependent, and independent variables of the experiment.

Explain how you would find the volume of an object such as a paper clip?

The easiest way to find the volume of irregular objects is to use water displacement Fill a beaker or other container with water and place the paper clip in the water. The amount the water level rises is the volume of the paper clip. Of course because a paper clip is so small you would either need to use highly accurate measuring devices or place enough paperclips in the water that there is a noticeable change in water level. you would then divide the change in water level by the number of paperclips you put in to get the average volume of a single paper clip.
