Investigation
Aim: We are going to test what footwear can change the distance of kicking a ball. We are going to test barefoot,soccer shoes and also sports shoes.
Hypothesis:
Akaash- I think that soccer shoes will kick the farthest because it is designed for kicking soccer balls
Rico- I think that bare feet will kick the least amount of distance.
Kelvin- I think that the distances will be similar because what you kick with shoes it is just to push the ball so I don't think it will matter much.
Jego- If you have foot wear you'll kick farther because you won`t get hurt like kicking the ball with bare feet.
Kian- Sports shoes will kick the second farthest because they are designed for sports
Materials:
- Soccer Ball
- Cones
- Soccer shoes
- Sport shoes
- Measuring roll
-Independent
Different shoes
-Dependant
No run up to kick the ball.
-Control
Same speed kicked
Method:
1. Put soccer shoes
2. Kick the ball with the side of your feet (not the part were your toes are)
3. Get a friend to put cones on each place of where the ball has stopped
4. Do this process five times
5. After you have five cones in different areas, get the measuring roll and roll it to where the five cones are.
6. Measure the distance between were you kicked and were the ball landed.
7. Record data
After you have done this, do the same with sports shoes and also with bare foot.
This is a video we have made of us kicking the ball, measuring how far the ball went and recording the data

Conclusion:
The results are inconclusive , everyone is better at kicking a ball with different footwear.
All the results are measured in metres.
The three scores for Rico are , sport shoes: 12.99, bare feet: 6.72 and soccer shoes were 11.92
The three scores for Kian are, sport shoes: 11.04 bare feet: 16.34 and soccer shoes were 11.76
The three scores for Akaash are, sport shoes: 14.9 bare feeet: 12.92 and soccer shoes were 8.08
The three scores for Jego are, sport shoes: 12.91 bare feet: 16.754 and soccer shoes were 14.57
The three scores for Kelvin are, sport shoes: 9.77 bare feet: 11 and soccer shoes were 10.31
Rico is best at kicking a soccer ball with sport shoes and is not as powerful with bare feet.
Kian is best at kicking a soccer ball with bare feet and is not as powerful with sport shoes.
Akaash is best at kicking a soccer ball with sport shoes and is not as powerful with soccer shoes
Jego is best at kicking a soccer ball with bare feet and is not as powerful with sport shoes
Kelvin is best at kicking a soccer ball with bare feet and is not as powerful with sport shoes
Generally the foot ware that would cause the ball to travel the farthest would be bare feet, and the worst would be sport shoes.
