Project Question: So I have a question about a Science Fair Idea relating to Basketball? How could I change up the question or this idea into something bigger and less dull for my Grade Level "8th Grade" the question is "When you shoot a basketball above your shoulders and from your chest, Which position has a better chance of going in the hoop ? " Please help w/ New Idea, Thanks!
Project Due Date: So far right now we are coming up with ideas, My experiment didn't work out so I have to think of a new Idea as soon as possible.

Science Fair Project w/ Basketball, Ideas!?

Post by AlexanderN711 »

Hi Everybody! This is my first time using this site so I will try and word this the best I can! So our school, has a science fair coming up soon and as a grade we gotta come up with a question. For my project, I really am into Basketball so I wanted to do something similar to it, My question was that "When you shoot a basketball above your shoulders and from your chest, Which position has a better chance of going in the hoop ? " But I don't like it...at all. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for a good science project related w/ basketball that's a appropriate for an 8th grader. Thanks everyone!
