Your assignment for Monday: spend some time researching ideas for your Paper Airplanes!  Remember: You will be testing your INDEPENDENT VARIABLE so you can only change that one variable in order ensure that your experiment is a Fair Test.  So if you said that you want to test the number of paper clips, you will be building three identical planes and adding a different number of paper clips to each (either 0, 1, or 2).  If you're testing wingspan, you will need to Only change this variable.
