Conclusion: When I started this
project, I asked people: "what
is your room color?" and "what
was your behavior like?". After
I finish recording the data, I
found out that most of the stu-
dents room are white and their
behavior are not same.
My hypothesis was not sup-
ported by the data because the
lighter color of the room did not
matter because some people
have dark color room and their
behavior is more cheerful than
the lighter on.
That is why my
hypothesis is
not supported
by the data. In
my feedback,
Chee Woo told
me to change
the sample size
to 10 people
instead of 20 so I decided it
was a good idea. In the end, I
change the sample size.
Follow up questions:
1. Why does white room color is
the most frequent one I've
seen?
2. Will the result be the same if
I tested on more people?
3. Do you think that the result

would be same if I ask the
whole school this question?
I collected data from different
people room color and behav-
iors.

Special points of
interest:
• Which room color is the
best for learning?
• Does background music
help you concentrate?
• What affects melting?
• Why does your heartbeat speed up when you’re
scared?
• Does Gum help you concen-
trate?
• What light helps you con-
centrate the most?

Inside this issue:
Data on this Experiment
Conclusion: After testing almost 15
people I figured out that not all of
the people get confused. Some
people got bad grades with music
and when I did the same person
without music they got the same
grade. So not all people get con-
fused or make a mistake in the
test. So I think that most of the
people get confused with rock
music and when I turned on ballad
they were so calm and got a better
grade then not having any music.
My hypothesis was not supported
by my data. I thought that no mu-
sic would be better to concentrate
but with ballad music was much
better.
Follow up Question:
1.Why does the people get better
grade when they have ballad mu-
sic?
Does the brain recognize the mu-
sic that’s what it affects?
How does brain get confused
when music is on? My feedback
was the sample size is small but I
think it is okay for me. I got
enough data.

Vanessa: Yes

Conclusion: My question is “What
keep ice from melting better a water
bottle or a plastic container?” What I
did was find a water bottle and a plas-
tic container, I put in each 3,4 ice and
wait for a few minutes. After a few
minutes, the plastic container has a lot
of water and little ice. The water bottle
has little water and the ice is a little
smaller than when I put it in. My hy-
pothesis is the water bottle keeps the
ice from melting better than the plas-
tic container. My hypothesis is sup-
ported by the data. So the water bottle
is better to keep ice in.
Follow up questions:
1. How did the water bottle keep the
ice from melting?
2. Why didn’t the plastic container
do better?

Conclusion: Human's heart beats faster when they got
scared, because when they got scared or surprised
their blood will stop for 5 seconds and after the 5 sec-
onds ends, our body really needs more oxygen, so the
heart will start pumping really fast to restore the oxy-
gen that's needed for our body.
My hypothesis was not supported, because I
thought that our heart pumps faster when we got scared
was, because we were afraid so the brain send a mes-
sage to the heart and so our heart pumps faster.
The people need to breathe in more air which
will make our heart pumps faster. So getting scared is
bad for our health, because it will make our heart works
harder.
My peer editor Chee Woo said what is my sam-
ple size, so I decided the sample size to be 20 people.
20 people isn’t that much people, so it’s more measur-
able.

Is getting scared good or bad for
our health? Why?
CONCLUSION: After doing my experi-
ment, "Will chewing gum help people
concentrate better?", I found out that
gum DO help people help people con-
centrate better when chewing them.
When I actually started to chew it my
self, I felt that it would help you con-
centrate better when chewing them.
Even though there were many people
who didn't say that it helped them con-
centrate, there were few people more
who said that it helped them concen-
trate better. The gum that I gave to the
people was a gum called, "Sense Mint
- Apple". After reading my partner's
feedback,
which was
"Make them
do some-
thing while
chewing
gum", I
thought of
changing
my experi-
ment, but
then when I
over
thought it again, I thought that then the
experiment would be to compli-
cated if I changed it.
My hypothesis was not supported
by my data. I hypothesized that
gum will not help people concen-
trate better, but after doing my
experiment, I found out that gum
actually did help people concen-
trate better.

Does Chewing Gum Help You Concentrate Better? By Ben
1. What affect does gum do to the per-
son's brain to make them help concen-
trate better?
2. Will different taste of gum change
the concentration of people?
3. Why do people think that gum help
them concentrate them better?

Conclusion: My experiment was
about "Which light will make you
concentrate more in your work?" I
did this experiment with other
people not in our school. I did it to
7 people and I started the experi-
ment. Then later after I wrote like
if she said that color make her or
his concentrate. I found out that 4
people concentrated with blue
lights and other 3 people concen-
trated on another color.
I don’t think my partner’s feed
back helped me because 7 people
is enough. Like 1 or 2 is too little.
20 or 15 is too much so I think we
can do 7 people.
Follow up Questions:
1. Which color rather than blue
makes you concentrate?
2. How many minutes do we have
to experiment to make the answer
really accurate?
3. Why does blue light make you
concentrate more?
Data Table
I did this project with 7 peo-
ples and there are 4 differ-
ent kinds of colors. Then af-
ter the project 4 people
liked blue and 3 liked other
colors, I mean it made you
concentrate more.
