          Jumping Frog is a origami, made by folding as a frog, it can jump high when have the pressure from fingers touching its body. The high or far levels of the frog can jump depends on the hand of who touched it or technique of folding. Before make it, Do you think the bigger frog jump higher, the smaller got trouble to jump high?

Apparati: 
   Equipment:
              Color Paper:
                               20cm x 10 cm : 1 piece
                               14cm  x 7 cm   : 1 piece 
                               10cm  x 5cm    : 1 piece
               30cm ruler : 1
               black marker: 1

Method:
    -Folding the 14cm x 7cm color paper by 8 steps:

 

   -Make the same way with 20cm x 10cm and 10cm x 5cm papers.

   

    - Use the finger to touch its back in the plane.

 The longest pink jumping frog is very small with a bow in the midle.

The highest yellow jumping frog.

The green beauty and the beast frog

     In the wood ground:
     20cm x 10cm frog: 30cm far

     14cm x 7 cm frog  :  30cm far

     10cm x 5cm frog   :  50cm far

 

   In the wood table:

      20cm x 10cm frog: 45cm far

     14cm x 7 cm frog  :  40cm far

     10cm x 5cm frog   :  60cm far.

 Question??

  -Why the frog can move?

     By the energy it had when the finger press down on, the bottom where it press folded as a spring.

  -Why the frog jumped in different distances?

     Its based on the weight and folding technique of it.

  -Why the distances change in different plane?

      The frog compressed down the plane, the plane rough obstructing the pressure is removing when it to jump up.

The frogs of whole table 5.

The highest jumping frog made frog plastic cup and the longest 

jupming frog was the smallest frog : made by Norma.

My new beauty and the beast with the origami rose and funny face.

Conclusion:

    The 20cm x 10cm had the similar distances with the 14cm x 7cm frog.

    The 10cm x 5cm had the greatest distances among three frogs.

It's show that the weight affect how far the frog can jump (the smaller had less weight than the bigger)

     The distances also affected by the pressure of finger on the frog. If pressure is compressed into a frog more powerful, the frog jump farther.

when making the origami frog, technical errors can occur hinder the correct data.
