My Scientific Scenario: Soccer team’s soccer shoes
In Riverside Soccer team, students always play soccer after school. All students can’t kick the ball far away. On average, they kick the ball 35m away. So coach brings special soccer shoes, and coach makes group A and group B. Group A wear special soccer shoes. Group B wear their ordinary soccer shoes. On average, group A students kick the ball 50m away, and group B students kick the ball 40m far away.
