Analyze Data

Compare the time of your experimental helicopter to your original (control) helicopter.

What variable was changed? ________________________________________________

How did the change affect the flight time? _____________________________________________________

Was your hypothesis correct? ______________

What else could you change to lengthen the flight time? _________________________________________________

Draw Conclusions

What can you infer from your research?

Communicate Results

On graph paper or on the computer, create a line graph with your data. Include the control helicopter and experimental

helicopter data. Give the X and Y axis, a title and units for your data.

Turn In

Staple your graph to this Lab report and turn in. Be sure your work is neat & complete. Your work counts as a quiz

grade.
