    The student hypothesized that a modified origami frog folded from an index card would jump higher and farther than a traditional origami frog. The experiment involved folding both a traditional and modified origami frog from index cards and measuring the jumping distance, height, and speed of each frog over three trials. The results supported the hypothesis, with the modified origami frog jumping farther and faster down the measured track than the traditional origami frog.

    Origami Frog Lab Write-Up

    PROBLEM: Can an index card Origami Frog be made to jump higher, farther, and make it down a
    track faster than other index card frogs?
    INFORMATION: Origami Frog traditional model folding instructions. The science behind frog
    leaps is in the stretchy tendons of their legs
    HYPOTHESIS: If I fold an index card into a modified origami frog then it will go farther and higher
    than my traditional folded origami frog. I think the modified origami frog will go farther because
    (specific folding modifications) will make the origami frog jump higher and farther than the traditional
    folded origami frog.
    EXPERIMENT: Materials – 1. Index cards (2) 4. Calculator
    2. Meter stick 5. Flat surface at least 1 meter long
    3. Timer/stopwatch 6. Metric ruler
    Procedure-
    1. Create Hypothesis.
    2. Answer pre-lab questions.
    3. Get one index card and fold it in the traditional frog model (source “Origami
    with Rachel Katz”)
    4. Gently push on the back of the completed frog to make it jump. Practice making
    your frog jump a few times before beginning the timed trials.
    5. Lay the meter stick down on a flat straight surface. Mark the starting line at one
    end of the meter stick and the finish line at the other end of the meter stick.
    6. Start the frog at the starting line, marked at one end of the meter stick.
    7. Have a partner use a stopwatch to measure the time it takes the frog to cross the
    finish line. Record your time for each trial in the data table, be sure to record units of
    measurement.
    8. If possible do the lab indoors so wind and weather do not affect the results.
    9. After 3 trials record your fastest time to the nearest 0.1 seconds
    .
    10. Calculate the speed by dividing DISTANCE/TIME and record.
    11. On the board record your group’s track distance and best time to the
    nearest millimeter.
    12. Get one index card and fold it into a frog shape using modifications to make it
    jump higher and farther than Traditional Frog.
    13. List all of the modifications/differences between your Traditional Frog and
    your Modified Frog.
    14. Measure the Jumping Height of Traditional Frog and Modified Frog, be sure to
    record units of measurement.
    15. Measure the Jumping Distance of Traditional Frog and Modified Frog, be sure
    to record units of measurement.
    16. Repeat Procedure steps #4-10 with your Modified Frog.
    17. Records RESULTS in data table.
    18. Write CONCLUSION. 1 PARAGRAPH (5 sentences minimum) *Discuss “My
    hypothesis was right or wrong because…” *Support hypothesis with data from your
    results section. *List the steps you used to fold your modified frog. *Compare your
    frog types to each other. *Give your opinion of the lab. What did you like? What did
    you not like? Why?
