I first sent out an email to all students with a link to sign up to do my experiment. However, only 1 person out of 350 signed up. So, we thought of other ways to ask people. I thought of asking the 9th grader STEAM students. I came into their meeting to tell them about my experiment. 3 people out of this group signed up. Although the number of participants is quite small, I started my experiment the weekend before spring break. 4 students came in on a Saturday morning, and ate either fast or slow burning food. Then, they came back in an hour to take the short quiz. It went very smoothly. I am excited to continue part 2 of my experiment.
My next step is to continue to find more people to do my experiment. I think I will approach my friends as well as their friends' friends. My goal is to have 12 participants. (right now I have 5) I will also be working on my bibliography.
You blog entries are very nice! You include a good amount of detail and you explain your ideas clearly. You are quite far behind, however. You need one more for March and two for April, I think. I am looking forward to how you represent your research in your poster!
