I need help with my science fair?

Question

Hey Thanks for reading. I am doing my science fair on carnival games. I am expeimenting to see how carnys use science to make the dart and ballon game,tip a troll game and the ball and bucket toss. All I have is my topic, what should i do next?

Answer 1

Let's say you select dart and balloon game or the ball and bucket toss.
1. Build a device
2. Compute the probability of achieving the goal
For a balloon
P= Total effective area of balloons/ Area of target or aim.
For bucket toss
P= Area of the bucket/Area of aim
(throw about 50 rounds and record their positions and that will give you the area of the aim)
3. Perform the experiment and compare the results.
4. Challenge people at the science fair to prove your findings wrong or confirm them.

Have fun
