The hypothesis is that playing Wii Sports will help inexperienced participants improve their performance at the actual game.

You will select 10 participants, 5 boys and 5 girls age 12 with no previous experience in playing golf, tennis or bowling. You will bring them to a golf driving range, a tennis court, and a bowling alley to observe their performance. Then, you will have them play Wii Sports for 2 hours a day for 12 days. Finally, you will observe their performance again.

You will need 5 boys and 5 girls age 12, access to a golf driving range, golf clubs of the correct size, access to a bowling alley and a bowling ball, a tennis court, 2 tennis rackets, tennis balls and a tennis instructor, 2 Wii video game consoles, and two copies of the Wii Sports software.

After the 12 days of training on the Wii sports video games, the participants’ performance in all 3 sports improved. The results show that playing Wii Sports can help inexperienced participants improve their performance at the actual game.

This science project is interesting because it explores the potential of video games to contribute to training and learning. It also shows how motion-detecting sports video games can help players to interact and have hands-on participation in a simulated sports game.

Variations of this science project could include exploring other sports such as race car driving, basketball, or boxing. Another variation could be to explore if video games help make a person smarter or think faster, or if they help improve reaction time.

Hey there! Here are some awesome videos about this science project that we think you'll really like. They're not only super fun, but they'll also help you learn more about the science behind the project. So sit back, relax, and get ready to have some fun!!
