My hypothesis is that sleep deprivation in teens will cause them to do bad in school. To test this hypothesis I am taking the test scores from two 8th grade classes, one tenth grade class and one 11th grade class and comparing it to the amount of hours they slept at night. Before I do this I will have to give out consent forms stating what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. The consent form will also include the students signature stating that they agree to this experiment. Right now I'm making my procedure which is taking some time to do. I can't wait to actually carry out the experiment. That's when thing will get more exciting. At first I thought that I wouldn't really like this class, but it turned out to be one of my favorite classes.

Research (ID)
In my research class we all picked a topic and make a hypoyhesis. After we make our hypothesis we have to think of an experiment to support this hypothesis. This may seem like a very simple thing to do but it's not as easy as it seems. Aside from making a hypothesis, you have to make a consent form, a survey and a procedure. This is not for every experiment, but for mines I do. Then you can carry out your experiment. After the experiment you collect your data. From your data you will see if your hypothesis is proven false or true.

I like how you vividly described our research class. I almost forgot that your project was dealing with sleep. Keep up the good writing. I also like how you disclosed some information, but not all of the information on your project. I feel like it was a good length; however, you could have added more because I felt that the blog ended so quickly after the description of your project.
ReplyDeleteSounds really interesting! How did the experiment go?
