Conclusion

This experiment found a very limited positive relationship between volleyball and data management test scores for the grade six girls tested (figure 7), therefore, the hypothesis was partly correct. There was also a smaller positive relationship found between the preference for playing sports and the test scores after a unit of volleyball was taught. An interesting point which was outside the original question of this experiment was that the only student who chose Drawing or Painting as their favourite activity on the survey performed noticeably better on the first two tests which had many more graphs, charts and pictures.
