[[image:podcast.jpg width="64" height="64"]] Consider, Discuss & Hypothesize:

 * **Yes, we got many good ideas from the other groups, such as the structure of the plane, and the length/width of the plane.**
 * **See answer above.**
 * **The smaller and thinner planes got much better results by speed, time, height, and distance than the wide and shorter ones.**
 * **//The thinner and longer planes will get better results.//**

////

Iterate :

 * Design a new plane**

Plane #3

 * Results**
 * || ** Accuracy ** || ** Distance ** || ** Time Aloft ** ||
 * **Trial #1** || 0% || 18.5 feet || 1.63 sec ||
 * **Trial #2** || 100% || 26 feet || 2.92 sec ||
 * **Trial #3** || 0% || 15 feet || 2.03 sec ||
 * ** Total ** || 100% || 59.5 feet || 5.58 sec ||
 * ** Average ** || 33.3% || 19.83 feet || 1.86 sec ||

Reflect:
//We made our plane thinner.media type="file" key="TTDpodcast.m4a" width="300" height="50"//
 * What iterations did you make to your designs?**

//We answered both questions in the podcast. Our results were better with the new changes.//
 * How did these changes influence your results?**

Plane #4

//To calculate the average of each category, add each trial and divide the sum by 3.//
 * Results**
 * || ** Accuracy ** || ** Distance ** || ** Time Aloft ** ||
 * **Trial #1** || 0% || 14.3 feet || 2.3 sec ||
 * **Trial #2** || 0% || 15 feet || .78 sec ||
 * **Trial #3** || 0% || 15 feet || .82 sec ||

 * ** Average ** || 0% || 14.77 feet || 1.3 sec ||

[[image:podcast.jpg width="64" height="64"]] Reflect:
//  //
 * **We made the plane even thinner than before.**
 * **The plane didn't go as far as the third plane, but it went further than the first two planes. It also had less time aloft than all of the other planes.**
