2.   As a group, give suggestions about how better to state information, look for misinformation, or if some important point was not stated in add it in the presentation.  Be sure there is enough detail to help audience understand the science, the technology that came about as the science was understood, and what was the benefit to society of the time, and what would happen if the technology was developed at all.

 

You will have 1/2 hour to finish and prepare for your presentation.

                      Repeat the launch 4 more times and average the 5 launches.

                         You cannot change the plane design during the 5 launches.

 

              3c.  As  a class, compare team results.  What conclusions can you draw? Why might

                     some planes have more lift than others?    Discuss in your teams and share out to class.

          not hit anything, there is nothing attached to it, and no one else catches or throws it?
