Free Throw Mania
Jordan Proffitt
Introduction• Free throws are shot when fouled.
But can boys make more or less shots with a smaller ball?
Problem• Can boys make more shots with the
28.5 or 27.5 basketball?
Hypothesis• I predict that the boys will make
more with the 28.5 basketball because that’s the basketball we use normally in practice and games.
Materials• 28.5 basketball• 27.5 basketball• Paper • Pen
Procedure• Gather All Materials• Test (Shoot 10 Shots Each)• Write Conclusion• Make Board• Post Results
Variables• Form While Shooting Free Throws• Strength• Free Throw Line
Results27.5 28.5
• Caleb-6 8• Brian-3 5• Andrew-3 7• Cameron-5 7• Henry-7 5• Cole-4 0• Jordan-3 5
Conclusion• My hypothesis was correct. They
made more with 28.5 basketball than the 27.5 basketball.

Further Research• Basketball is played all over the
world. In basketball, when players get a foul the person they foul may get to shoot a free throw. Free throws are worth one point each.
Acknowledgments• Thanks to Caleb, Andrew, Henry,
Cole, Cameron, and Brian.
