- Project Question: My project aims to investigate whether there is a connection between puplillary distance and ability to play hurling/camogie (irish sports) Here is a synopsis of Hurling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurling. Camogie is the same thing played by women. To investigate this connection, I will test peoples 3D vision, depth perception and hand eye coordination (skills used in hurling and camogie). I would appreciate any advice about the experiment.

Re: My science project
Hi Roisin,
Please have a look at our Science Fair Project Guide : https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... ndex.shtml. You will find alot of useful information as you start your project. It sounds like you have already identified your question as something like this - does longer pupillary distance increase the number of wins at hurling?
Be sure to pay close attention to developing your question and making it measurable - see the section on questions. You can look at quantifying the skills used in hurling, or quantify based on number of wins.
If you have any specific questions, please let me know.

Re: My science project
Hi Roisin,
What an interesting project! It sounds like you have already given it a lot of thought, and sunmoonstars has given you some good advice to get started.
Were you looking for ways to do the tests you want to do (3D vision, depth perception, hand-eye coordination)? Please post with your specific questions, and we would be happy to help you!
