Topic

• Can you make a shoebox fly?

3
Question

• Do different heights affect the glide slope
  ratio of a shoebox glider?

4
Hypothesis

• If a scientist throws seven gliders each throw
  at the same height and in the same place by the
  same person then the glider will fly to the
  number of feet, and if built right, when the
  glider stops and falls it should not crash , and
  the glide slope ratio should be close to perfect.

Materials

• Shoebox
• Foam board
• Tape
• Hot glue gun
• Hot glue sticks
• Insulation board
• Scissors
• Box cutter

Procedures

• Locate a place that has no wind such as a gym
• Determine the height you want to throw the
  gliders from by using the step ladder
• Find one person to throw all the gliders at the
  height chosen
• Have different person get a meter stick and hold
  it at the chosen height
• Have the person you chose to throw the gliders
  one at a time
• After each glider is thrown record the distances
• Repeat steps 4-6 to each glider, so that each
  glider is thrown three times, and you have three
  records how high each one went
