Jo Journal Check 1

• Project topic: Which is better for speed, Nike or Adidas?
• Hypothesis: If I wear Nike to run, then I will run faster.
• Variables:
• 1. Controlled (all the same in each experiment to make a fair test):

weather, the person, the distance, the location, the clothes

• 2. Independent (the one variable we change-check hypothesis):

the shoe brand, Nike and Adidas

• 3. Dependent (the variable we measure/observe):

the time it takes to run

Jo Journal Check 2

• Procedures:

1st: I will set the course, marking out 1 km 2nd: I will have the runner run 1 km wearing Nike shoes 3rd: The next day, the runner will run 1 km wearing Adidas 4th: (I will repeat the 2nd and 3rd step three times)

• Materials: Shoes, stopwatch, runner, marker(to mark 1 km), a place to run
• Data:
• Results:
• My hypothesis was wrong, Nike shoes made the runner go slower. In fact,

Adidas made the runner faster.

Shoe type 1st 2nd 3rd Average Adidas 8 min 8.5 min 7.5 min 8 min Nike 9 min 10 min 11 min 10 min

• Conclusion: Apply the idea. How can you use what you learned in

everyday life?

• If I were to choose a pair of shoes for a race I would choose Adidas.

When I grow up and manage a sports team I will be sure to do extensive research. I will be sure to know which shoes are best. Right now Adidas are best.
