 MyScience Report Structure //Beresford // // Road Public School // For 5F – Prepared by Mr Fisk __Heading: __ Sports Mania! __Hypothesis__ B oys are better at sport than girls.It is thought that boys are stronger and faster than girls. are boys really better at sport then girls? because we have heard convesations saying "are girls really better at sports than boys" or they are saying it the other way around.  ==__<span style="color: rgb(130,16,188);">Question: __<span style="color: rgb(0,255,2);">Is it true that boys have more skills at sports than girls? ==

<span style="color: rgb(0,255,36);"> We are going to test kindies on there balance jumping and hitting. Then we are going to get the results.We have chosen kindies because they probably haven't started any sports yet. We have chosen these kind of skills because the kindies wont know how to do them kind of skills because they are still too young. <span style="color: rgb(0,0,255); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> <span style="color: #8210bc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(0,0,255); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Step 1: <span style="color: rgb(255,0,0); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">First we get 10 People from kindigarten Step 2: <span style="color: rgb(255,0,0); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Next we test the kindies on throwing <span style="color: rgb(255,0,0); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Step 3: <span style="color: rgb(255,0,0); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Then we test the kindies on how far they jump <span style="color: rgb(0,0,255);">Step 4: <span style="color: rgb(255,0,0); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Now we test the kindies on their balance with a beanbag on their head and bloind folded <span style="color: rgb(213,0,255); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> <span style="color: #8210bc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(0,0,255); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Step 5: <span style="color: rgb(255,0,0); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">then we will test the kindies on their shooting <span style="color: #8210bc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 6:<span style="color: rgb(255,0,0); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Then we put them back in their classes Step 7: <span style="color: rgb(255,0,0); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">then we will see if boys are better at sports than girls

__<span style="color: #800dba; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Analysis: __ Our results mean that boys are better at sports then girls. Girls where better at long jump, but overall boys had a score in balance and hitting, scoring a higher result when looking at all participant results. This supports our hypothesis because we predicted that boys are generally better at sports than girls. Scince we predicted that boys are better at sports then girls we all predicted correctly.

__<span style="color: #800dba; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Conclusion: __ In conclusion, our hypothesis and our results confirmed that boys are better at sports. We predicted that boys are stronger than girls and faster.

__<span style="color: #800dba; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Further Investigations: __ In re-testing we could try different age groups, seeing if that effects our results. Such as older children for example year 4, would have had experience in sports, for example in netball girls may improve there balance overtime or if they do T-ball or Softball girls could improve in there hitting.
