  • If a manager of a skate shop goes to more events, has more knowledge on skateboarding, or college credibility their skate shop will be more profitable.

4. Write a paragraph summary of how you will perform the experiment.  Include the tools you plan on using.

After I would ask them if I can see their profits and see how much they are gaining.

5. Select one of the following Project Categories for your experiment:
