My Winter Break

Authors Note: I’m try to have an informational writing piece. What I am try do is tell you about
what I did during my break and how fun it was!


Most of my break was in Arizona so that is a lot of but I had a lot of fun here too like open presents for my parents and have family over and friends. The best thing was going to places I have never been to because it is fun finding things there.

I did a lot in Arizona and it was very fun I went to a lot of places to!! The best thing we did was the day we went to Scottsdale because we got look at a lot of stuff like look at houses, went to eat and we found a big fountain in Fountain Hills and it went 150 feet in the air. It was the biggest fountain that I had ever saw. After we ate we went back home then later we went to a place called McDonald’s Ranch and it was pretty fun we got to ride horses in the Country. I saw two jackrabbits. They have very big ears and they are very fast.

Arizona is a nice state but another thing I did was open Christmas presents because i got a lot of good things Like a phone, money clothes, and much more. But the best thing was getting my phone and the $50 because I wanted a phone and i need money for Arizona. After opening presents we had family and friends over and it was fun because we got to open more presents and talk with them. Even though they only stayed for 1 hour.

I like having friends and family for Christmas because they are fun to be with. One thing I liked doing was going to see things I have never seen because there are fun to see and go to. We went to alot of places like The Grand Canyon, Sidonia, and Scottsdale and there were really fun to go to and to look at. The best one was the grand canyon because there was so much to look at and it was snowy in a state that is aways really hot.

My vacation was really fun and I liked it alot because I did alot and had alot of fun. I did so much and had so much fun this winter break and i hoe it is the same next year. I hope I go back to Arizona too.

Shooting Deep Three's

Problem- We are trying to see if the size of a ball changes your shout and your form.


Hypothesis-

Adam- I will make 7 shots out of 20 because I'm use to the men’s ball and I have not shot a women’s ball in a long time. Another reason is that I never really shot threes in games or practices. More of the balls used in games are men’s so it will be easier with the I'm use to. But you never know the one inch smaller might not make a differences . well I'm not that wise so i don’t know.

Experimental Design-
go to the gym and shoot basketballs 15 each ball per person
have all of us shoot 15 times
add the scores up


Variables-
The balls
Basketball court
Hoop


Produces- The first thing we had to do was shoot which wasn’t very hard. But then we had to put all our info into bar graph which wasn’t hard again but the results ended up being really close to each other. We all got in 4 and below because it is hard to change our shot in like in like 10 min so we couldn’t make many. All our goals were to make 5 or more but that didn’t happen.





Observation- What we were trying to do is see if a having to different size basketballs would effect our shoot which by watching it did alot because we were shooting all over the place and we didn’t even hit the rim that much because of the different balls. One thing I saw was how we were shooting because we had a different shoot for both balls. The hard thing is we had to get use to each ball as we were shooting.



Conclusion-

Adam- I wasn’t thinking I would make the same amount with each ball but i think i did because one is light and the other one I’m use to and if you aren’t use to it you have to get use to. most of shooting is the form because you have to have good form to play basketball because it makes it easier. But I had to have a different form for each of the balls because then other wise it is hard to shoot.
