Crossed Eye/Hand Vs. Uncrossed Eye/Hand BY: Adam Thabateh Mrs.Ransom Science Fair
Question • What effect does crossed eye/hand dominance have on basketball shooting percentage and how does it compare with uncrossed eye/hand dominance?
Hypothesis • I hypothesize that there will be a negative effect on the crossed eye/hand participants. • Studies show that being crossed hand/eye makes it more difficult to shoot because their hand-eye coordination isn’t as steady as people who are uncrossed.
Materials • A basketball • A basketball hoop • 5 people who are crossed eye/hand • 5 people who are uncrossed eye/hand • Pen/pad to record data
Procedures • Ask 5 people who are crossed eye/hand and 5 people who are uncrossed eye/hand to take 10 shots from certain spots on the court • Record how much they made and missed • Collect all of the data
Observation/Data Uncrossed Crossed
Conclusion • My hypothesis was supported. The uncrossed eye/hand people had a better field goal percentage. The average of the crossed eye/hand people was 4.8 while the average of the uncrossed eye/hand participants was 7.2. Uncrossed had the upper hand.
