Complete 3 steps for variable activity (STEP 1: identify independent variable you will be testing, keeping in mind you will have to control all other variables. STEP 2: write out a step by step procedure to test your independent variable and record the dependent variable (airplane flight time). STEP 3: create a data table to record your results in (you will want to record about 10 flights in total, so for example if you have 2 different designs, you need to test each design 5 times, if you have 3 different locations you will need to test your plane at each location 3 times, if you have 4 different throwers, each thrower will throw the same plane 2  or 3 times) - these should have been done in class if you didn't leave for activities 30 minutes early.
