-In this experiment I realized that the structure of the frisbee has more to do with its range rather than the mass or circumference.
1. Find measurements (circumference & mass) of the frisbee.
2. Set up camera with a view of the throw and a vertical object (tree, pole, etc.) as a reference point.
3. Throw the frisbee from a pinpointed location.
4. Measure distance.
5. Repeat.

-Measuring Tape
-Scale
-Ruler
-Video Camera/Phone Camera
-Distance and Maxi-Distance drivers are basically the same
-Putters and multipurpose are the same too.
-According to Bernoulli's Principle, there is lower pressure on top of the frisbee, causing it to rise.
-Since the frisbee has a curved top, it makes it so that air can move faster over the top than the bottom.
-Also, the spinning motion helps keep the frisbee moving according to the Gyroscopic Effect, which states that any spinning disc stays spinning at the same angle.
-To determine the relationship between mass, circumference, and angle of attack of a frisbee and how it affects its range.
