Experiment Title: | coin throws. Underhand or overhand? |
What was the purpose of your experiment? Provide a brief description of what you were hoping to learn, discover, or study.: | I found this peruvian game called sapo. You have to throw a coin into the toad’s mouth from two steps back. I was wondering if it would be better to throw the coins underhand or overhand. |
What was your hypothesis?: | It would be easier to get them in overhand because you would be higher to throw it in. |
What materials did you use in your experiment? List them all.: | Grandma (1) Sapo game (1) Coins (10) |
What procedure was followed? Provide a brief description of the steps you followed during your experiment.: | I asked the grandma to throw the coins underhand and try to get them in the toad’s mouth. I recorded the results. Then, I asked the grandma to do the same thing, but overhand. |
What were the results of your experiment?: | They were the exact same! |
What is your conclusion after conducting the experiment? Was your hypothesis correct or incorrect?: | My hypothesis was incorrect about it being easier overhand, they both were three out of ten. |
Spend a few minutes learning about the scientific principles involved in your experiment. Write 3-4 sentences about what you learned and how it relates to your experiment.: | They both have good things about them. You get to be higher up if you do it overhand, which helps. When you do it underhand, it’s more accurate. |
