Build the same paper airplane out of each paper. Take a . 3. Create a data table to record the results. You will test each type of paper three times. 4. Test each airplane using the same thrust. 5. Measure the results of each paper airplane. Record the distance each airplane travels. Take s. 6. record yourself explaining your evidence and reasoning for which paper makes the best airplane. 6. Click and bring in the photos. 7. a summary of this activity.
