Questions

1. Do Plants grow upward when the plant is upside
down?

2. Is it easier as a goalie to catch a ball when its high
or on the ground, in soccer?

3.  How do oil spills affect plants?


4. Does different styles of music affect your memory?

Prove

I am try to prove that as a goalie in soccer, it is much easier to get the ball when it is in the air. This is because it is easier to catch something in the air instead of bending down and catching the ball. By the time you bend down the ball has probably already rolled by.

Experiment

Picture
For my experiment, I am going to take four people who play soccer, and three people who don't play soccer and I am going to throw soccer balls high and low at them. I will put them in goals equally wide, tall, and deep. Then, I will see if they catch more balls when they are high in the air or rolling on the ground.  I will throw them at the same speed for each person and ask each person if it was easier when I threw the ball high or on the ground.

Prove

I am trying to prove that different styles of music affect your short-term memory positively. Mozart affects music the most positively because it relaxes our body causing us to remember things better.

Experiment

Picture
For my experiment, I am going to take 24 test subjects and test their memory with music. I am going to play music for them then show them items. Then, I am going to take the items away then have them say it back to me. I am then going to see how the different types of music affected their memory. The different types of music I am going to use is classical, country, pop, 80's, and rock music.
