Hi, My school is requiring us to do a science project, and I can't think of one...I want a science project that somehow involves sports...Does anybody know any good projects that I can do? Please explain what to do and what I need, if possible.
Thanks.
**I am in 10th grade..so they have to be kinda difficult.

Although it has been proven, read about why hitters stuff bats with corks. You could buy two bats that are exactly alike and stuff one with cork. Place a batting tee and hit the ball on top of it so you can measure the distance. Do this with both bats and analyse what happens.

You could do a thing on shoes. Collect data on which shoe would help better in each sport and have a graph most likely bar graph that shows which has like the best fit, lightweight, most dependable, or helps pick up more speed on the field, court, or track. I hope this helps! I'm good in Science, but like Language Arts better (except for my teacher) Post the results when the project is over. GOOD LUCK!

Well let us try to save some one. There is a good practice of encouraging people to install smoke detectors .
They sometime regimens to install CO2 detectors which is great. The smoke detectors should be near the ceiling.
The CO2 detectors need to be very near the floor. They never say anything about the fact that the sensor only last about 3 years. Nobody has warned people that if it is over 3 years old it want detect anything.

Perhaps you could illustrate the effect of high-altitude training on athletes, and the level of haemoglobin and red blood cells in their blood. Morally speaking, does this give them an unfair advantage?
Or, drug abuse tends to be a hot topic in sport. Illustrate the difference between steroid user and non-users, perhaps even find some willing subjects to demostrate the difference.
You could also focus on recovery. At the moment, I have tendonitis in both my elbows. This injury takes months and months of rest and rehabilitative action to heal - and even then my tendons will never be restored to full strength or ability. Perhaps you could analyse the constituent molecules of tendons (I believe it is a collagen 3 molecule?) and research ways to accelerate healing time.

one thing that could be impressive is to show the defects that steroids, drugs, and alcohol can cause. becaue a lot of sports players use steroids. okay, so it really doesn't have anything to do w/ sports, but i'm in 10th too, and drugs and alochol is all they talk

trajectories of balls...
how balls fly through the air in tennis, golf, football, basketball, baseball.
acceleration/deceleration(sp?) of balls or people running
forces on balls
angles...for example in soccer on the goal etc.
what angles are possible.
how does spin affect the motion of balls in sports.
