Paper Dart Testing
In groups of three, you are going to try making a range of different paper darts and test how they perform in practice.

You are going to change the type of dart you make,
and also the length of the dart.
To test the darts, you will throw them in a repeatable way,
and measure two things.
You are going to both measure the distance it travels before it
touches the ground (not necessarily where it lands)
and the time it spends in the air before it hits the ground.

Below are some dart designs, choose two to test.
Basic Dart

Flat Nose Dart

Glider Dart

Dart Floating
