I have nearly finished and just have to glue the text boxes on.
Introduction
I chose to study this because I spend 1-2 hours a day on Minecraft but I everyday I hear people say that it's too easy. Sometimes they say its too hard. But Minecraft being a mainly building game I think it wouldn't be too hard just place blocks. But how hard really is it? To find this out I will set someone that doesn't play very often and someone that plays often, to build the best house they can in 10 minutes. I think that more advanced players will mostly dominate because they pick up little skills and tips playing but the lesser skilled players will still put up a good fight.
Method
I’m going to make an arena and have a time limit of 10 minutes to let each person to build the most awesomest house they can. Then I will take a photo of both and present them to my class and vote which house they think is better. I advised the class to judge on the following criteria; Interior and exterior, the house you would want to live in.` I will repeat this four times to get an accurate outcome.
Aim:
To see if video games (Minecraft) takes practice and skill or are they a waste of time?
Hypothesis:
I think the people who play it a lot will conquer. And video games do take skill and practice.
Equipment
:Computer
:Minecraft
:Mouse
Results:
The more experienced people won. To be honest I thought that they would win by far but the votes were so close I had to do it twice.
Conclusion:
“Wow!” I thought the less experienced people would get smashed. But believe it or not it was very close between both sides. The less experienced won once and the more experienced won 3 times, but I assure you the votes were incredibly close. The best overall house went to exhibit H. I think that the houses got better as they went down the rows. This could of have happened by people getting inspiration from other houses. People were very intrigued by this idea and decided to copy my idea there are two other science fair ideas like mine. My test subjects enjoyed participating in my science fair and gave very positive feedback. All test subjects improved in the quality of the house they could build the longer they played.
Next I would like to test the time line that it takes to get the hang of this game.
Comments
Matt S (Contestant)- I don't think people voted for who they acutely wanted they just voted randomly. Jess C (spectator)- I think the results where bias.
Miss C (Teacher) - I agree with Jessica. Next time make your voting blind so people are choosing the best quality house and not choosing the houses of their friends.
