100
An experiment in which only one variable is changed.
What is a controlled experiment?
100
What is the basic procedure to control variables in experiments?
What is a standard?
100
Anything that changes in the experiment that may affect the outcome.
What is a variable?
100
What are three variables that can affect the distance an object will travel from the flipper base?
What is angle of launch, mass, size of object, distance on flipstick, how far you press down on flip stick, or position of object on flipstick?
200
The item that stays the same in an experiment.
What is control?
200
What is the relationship between the number of winds on the propeller and the distance the plane will travel?
What is the more winds on the propeller, the farther it will travel. OR as the winds on the propeller decreases, the distance decreases.
200
How can a flipper system be set up to project and object the highest flip? (LEQ Question!)
What is set up with a distance of 1 cm on the flip stick without an angle and by using the 10 cm ball?
200
Name the 4 parts of the planes system?
What is flight line, propeller, straws, and craft stick.
300
A set of objects working together.
What is a system?
300
When both the 10 cm and 20 cm foil balls are flipped from a standard postion, which ball will travel the farthest? Why?
What is the 10 cm ball. There is less mass.
300
Why is it important to have multiple trials of an experiment?
What is it improves the accuracy of results or there may be human error or interference?
300
What are the 5 parts of a flippers system?
What is flip stick, angle brace, flipper base, craft stick, and objects (foil ball and cork)?
400
This item shows the relationship or outcomes of a series of experiments.
What is a two-coordinate graph?
400
How can a flipper system be set up to project the farthest flip of an objet? (LEQ Question!)
What is set the angle brace at 40 degrees, set the flip stick at 1 cm and use the 10 cm ball?
400
If the standard number of winds on the propeller remains the same, but passengers are added, what happens to the distance the plane will travel?
What is the distance will decrease?
400
What are the 3 variables can affect the distance a plane can travel?
What are number of winds on propeller, passengers/mass, and slope of line.
