Problem- We are trying to see if the size of a ball changes your shot and your form.
Hypothesis- I will make 5 out of 30 because I am not that good at basketball but I think will do better with a men’s ball. I think I will do better with the men's ball because I am more used to the men's ball and the women's ball might be a little too light so I might over shoot the basket!
Experimental Design-
go to the gym and shoot basketballs 15 each ball per person
have all of us shoot 15 times
add the scores up
Variables-
The balls
Basketball court
Hoop
Produces- The first thing we had to do was shoot which wasn’t very hard. But then we had to put all our info into bar graph which wasn’t hard again but the results ended up being really close to each other. We all got in 4 and below because it is hard to change our shot in like in like 10 min so we couldn’t make many. All our goals were to make 5 or more but that didn’t happen.
Observation- What we were trying to do is see if a having to different size basketballs would effect our shoot which by watching it did alot because we were shooting all over the place and we didn’t even hit the rim that much because of the different balls. One thing I saw was how we were shooting because we had a different shoot for both balls. The hard thing is we had to get use to each ball as we were shooting.
Conclusion
Charlie- In my hypothesis I predicted that I would make 5 out of 30 and shoot better with the men’s ball than with the women’s. I did both of those I made 3 with the men's and 2 with women’s. I shot horribly but some how i still tied Alec but Adam blew us out. Overall I think we learned that women’s and men’s basketballs doesn’t really make a difference its more of what basketball size and weight you are used to.
