Left-Handedness and Mirror Writing

Medium
Left-Handedness and Mirror Writing | Science Fair Projects | STEM Projects
Do you ever wonder why some people can write backwards? This science project will explore the differences between left-handed and right-handed people when it comes to writing in mirror language.

Hypothesis

The hypothesis is that left-handers can mirror write more effectively and quickly than right-handers.

Method & Materials

You will need 10 left-handed and 10 right-handed participants aged 15, a text or phrase to test the participants, 20 pieces of paper, 20 pencils, a stopwatch, and a mirror. You will test the participants one at a time, and measure the time taken for them to finish writing the given text.
You will need 10 left-handed and 10 right-handed participants aged 15, a text or phrase to test the participants, 20 pieces of paper, 20 pencils, a stopwatch, and a mirror.

Results

The results showed that the left-handed participants were quicker at writing in mirror language compared to the right-handed participants. This proves that the hypothesis that left-handers can mirror write more effectively and quickly than right-handers is correct.

Why do this project?

This science project is interesting because it explores the differences between left-handed and right-handed people when it comes to writing in mirror language. It also shows that left-handers have an advantage when it comes to mirror writing.

Also Consider

Consider repeating this science fair project by comparing the ability of ambidextrous persons to mirror-write. Try to conduct another experiment with emphasis on gender and each gender’s ability to perform mirror writing.
