Statistical investigations






We are conducting a statistical investigation to see which paper planes will fly further. We will be learning about scatter plots and will try to establish a relationships between variables. We will have a class competition to see who can come up with the most successful designs.

Here are some links to useful websites, to help any investigating at home.
