Not a science project at all. Would have gotten an f from my science teachers.

Especially if the school was located in Foxborough.

If those science teachers were in Seattle...he’d have gotten an ‘A’!

Which step did he miss?

The question? Did Brady cheat?

Background research? Where the balls under-inflated?

Hypothesis? Do under inflated balls travel further?

Test with an experiment. Multiple levels of inflation thrown by different people, log distance vs pressure vs thrower.

Procedure working? Yes they were all capable of throwing the ball, the distances and pressures were able to be measured.

Analyze data and draw conclusions. Data shows that under inflated balls travel farther for each thrower. Therefore under-inflated balls give an advantage.

Results align with hypothesis.

Communicate results, well DUH, that's what he did!

If he wanted to do an actual SCIENCE project, he would have demonstrated the impact of the Ideal Gas Law on a football inflated at room temperature, then used outside at the actual game temperature. Of course, then, he would have found the same thing that the NFL found the year after the incident, when they did conduct such tests, and refused to reveal the results.

I agree. Hardly scientific.

He'll make a good climate scientist with a nice government grant.

And someone should warn him about defamation. He's a terrible example for other kids.
