The goal of this project is to determine if the ball's starting position for shooting a basketball affects a player's shooting percentage. In this project, you'll measure shooting percentage when players shoot baskets from chest height, chin height, and over the head.</div>

<br />
Independent Variable ---> When ---> One day<br />
<br />
Constant ---> Where ---> Lab, SST, Singapore.<br />
<br />
Hypothesis: In the lab, there would be the Microwave, where one day, the lesser the length between the hot spots, the faster the speed of the electromagnetic wave.<br />

Abstract</h2>
Did you know that you can measure the speed of light using a microwave oven, some egg white, and a ruler? Find out how with this cool kitchen science project thanks to Mr. Nick Hood, a science teacher in Fife, Scotland.<br />
<h2 style="color: #501074; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; margin: 22px 0px 12px;">
Objective</h2>
The goal of this project is to measure the speed of electromagnetic waves in the microwave portion of the spectrum by measuring the spacing between hot spots in a microwave oven.<br />

Scientists use the scientific method to search for </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">cause and effect</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> relationships in nature. In other words, they design an experiment so that changes to one item cause something else to vary in a predictable way.</span><br />

<b>Steps To The Scientific Method:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b>Ask a Question:</b> The scientific method starts when you ask a question about something that you observe: How, What, When, Who, Which, Why, or Where?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
And, in order for the scientific method to answer the question it must be about something that you can measure, preferably with a number.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b style="background-color: #f1f1f1;">Do Background Research:</b><span style="background-color: #f1f1f1;"> Rather than starting from scratch in putting together a plan for answering your question, you want to be a savvy scientist using library and Internet research to help you find the best way to do things and insure that you don't repeat mistakes from the past.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b>Construct a Hypothesis:</b> A hypothesis is an educated guess about how things work:<br />"If _____<i>[I do this]</i> _____, then _____<i>[this]</i>_____ will happen."</div>
You must state your hypothesis in a way that you can easily measure, and of course, your hypothesis should be constructed in a way to help you answer your original question.<br />
<b style="background-color: #f1f1f1;">Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment:</b><span style="background-color: #f1f1f1;"> Your experiment tests whether your hypothesis is true or false. It is important for your experiment to be a fair test. You conduct a fair test by making sure that you change only one factor at a time while keeping all other conditions the same.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: #f1f1f1;">
You should also repeat your experiments several times to make sure that the first results weren't just an accident.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f1f1f1;">
<b style="background-color: white;">Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion:</b><span style="background-color: white;"> Once your experiment is complete, you collect your measurements and analyze them to see if your hypothesis is true or false.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
Scientists often find that their hypothesis was false, and in such cases they will construct a new hypothesis starting the entire process of the scientific method over again. Even if they find that their hypothesis was true, they may want to test it again in a new way.</div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<b style="background-color: #f1f1f1;">Communicate Your Results:</b><span style="background-color: #f1f1f1;"> To complete your science fair project you will communicate your results to others in a final report and/or a display board. Professional scientists do almost exactly the same thing by publishing their final report in a scientific journal or by presenting their results on a poster at a scientific meeting.</span></div>
