Description | ||
| This science fair project was carried out to determine how the take-off angle of a javelin will affect the distance traveled. Testing was done by by having an athlete throw a javelin at various angles. The distance achieved in each throw was then determined. | ||

| 1. For this science fair project, the independent variable is the javelin take-off angle, i.e. 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40° and 45°. The dependent variable is the distance traveled by the javelin. This is determined by using a measuring tape to measure the distance traveled by the javelin after each throw. The constants (control variables) are the weight of the javelin and the strength of the athlete. 2. The 3 participants are made to perform some warm-up exercises before the recording of the javelin throws. At the same time, the cameraman will set up the video camera at a ..... | ||
