My question was "Does the PSI of a soccer ball affect how far it goes." I chose this project because I was wondering what the ideal PSI is for soccer. My conclusion was that the higher the PSI was, the farther the ball went. This project is important because soccer is the most popular sport in the world, so many people could benefit from the data.
Great job! I really appreciate that your procedure addresses how to handle outliers in your data so they won’t affect your results and conclusions, and how much thought you put in to how you’d redesign the experiment if you did it again.
Bringing a radar gun to the field to measure kick speed shows you understood the biggest weakness in this experiment before you even started. That is scientific planning.
