February Post 2

We spent the last 2 weeks planning on our experiment. We first decided to send out a survey to students to find out more about current breakfast eating habit. Results has shown that about 90% of the students eat breakfast. Half of the student body eat bagels with cream cheese. Egg is the second most popular breakfast food.

My experiment is fairly straightforward.  I will invite one group of students on a Saturday morning, and have them eat either fast burning food or slow burning food. A list of choices will be provided. Then, they will come back in an hour and take a quiz that measures their mathematic and vocabulary skills. They repeat this on another Saturday, but they will eat the other type of food. I will measure how well students did on the quiz eating fast burning food compared to eating slow burning food.

Since my quiz is on math and vocabulary, I took some sample questions from the SAT website and created two similar quizzes. I asked my math teacher and english teacher to see if the two quizzes are equivalent.

My next step is to find students to do my experiment!
