K girls I think I’ve got it! You see I was eating this really nice chocolate donut (from the awesumly awesum bakery at Coles-seriously it is really AWESUMMMMMM) n apart from thinking, this is all going straight to my thighs….I thought SRP!
So I think I’m going to do how and if sugar affects our memory. It’s actually something that I’ve always thought about. I mean you know how athletes eat glucose before they run to stimulate their body n stuff….we’ll does eating sugar stimulate the memory power of your brain?
What I’m going to do is….
Get about 5 people from the ages 14-16 and test their memory by showing them flashcards with numbers on them; each time making the number bigger by one digit. Then I will give them a certain amount of sugar, let it digest….and then do the same thing again but with different number flashcards! If they remember more, it means that sugar increases the power of memory!I might also try it with another, much older age group…not sure yet.
My variables
Independent: Sugar
Dependent: Amount of digits that person remembers
Controlled: Amount of sugar, time for digestion, age group of people, time of day
Hehehehe…finally getting somewhere,
Lakshmi :D

this is a human experiment. Remember that you need more than 30 volunteers to actually make human experiments draw a valid conclusion. So on the account that you haven't really outlined the experiment in FULL detail, I can't approve it yet.
ReplyDeletethe other thing with this practical is how do you control the amount of sugar the participants consume during an average day? What if people had more sugar than others etc? How will that affect your results?
I think there are too many variables within this experiment, but you may be able to prove me wrong...
