Science Fair Proposal

Q1) What is your topic?

 My topic is Taekwondo.

Q2) What is the driving problem behind your experiment and the quote by an expert to support that problem?

The problem is to figure out whether or not if I add height to a kick directed to the face will there be less force? And to see if  I add more rotation while I execute the kick will there be more force?

" Master Chaney believes that this “full circle” movement not only generates more power it also gives the fighter a better defensive position if the kick misses. "

Q3) What is your hypothesis?

If I add height to my kick then there will be less force, unless I add a more rotation in my body.

Q4) Brief Paragraph of science experiment.

I will be kicking the vernier force plate covered by couple of shield targets will I strike it. I will be recording how much force is each technique producing and since I will be having it at my face level I will have measuring tape to calculate the height from the ground to the target.
