Hello:

I moved your post to the "Life, Earth and Social Sciences" forum where you are more likely to find help. However, I recommend you post more information about your topic so the experts can help you.

Hi,

That's a great question to answer with a science fair project. I understand you probably had someone experience something painful first without a distraction and then with the distraction of playing a game. Did your results ahow a lower pain felt with the games? You should be able to make a chart showing the difference in the data with the two groups (with distraction and without distraction).

I found a good explanation on how this is possible here:

(This site I found with a google search using the words "How does distraction lessen pain", in case you would like to try to find more sites with explanations.

Please let me know if you needed more help.

Good luck with your project!
