Science Experiment

Our class wanted to find out if having longer arms helps you throw further. To make it a fair test, we kept some things the same, like the ball we used, how we threw it and how we measured the throws. The only thing we changed was the person throwing the ball.
Before starting, we made predictions. Some of us thought longer arms would help, while others thought strength or technique might matter more.
We measured everyone’s arm from their shoulder to their fingertip, then took turns throwing the same ball from the same spot. After each throw, we measured how far it went and wrote down the results.
The results were surprising! Some people with longer arms threw farther, but others with shorter arms threw just as far—or even farther. We decided that technique matters more than arm length when it comes to throwing far.
We learned that it’s okay if predictions don’t match the results—it’s all part of science. If we tried this again, we might look at how strength or throwing style affects the distance. Why not give it a go and see what you find?
