Scientific Project: Methods Learning Objectives:
1) Identify the common components of the methods section of scientific research. 2) Explain how to test a scientific hypothesis.
3) Create step-by-step instructions on how to perform the self-experiment.
Instructions:
For this section of your scientific project, you are expected to write a detailed description of the steps you will take to test your hypothesis and perform your self-experiment. Remember to be as detailed as possible.
For example, if your dependent variable is heart rate, how will it be measured? Will you use a Fitbit or Apple watch? Will you take it the old-fashioned way (count your heartbeats)? If you are counting your heartbeats, will you be counting beats over 15 seconds and multiplying by 4? Will you count heartbeats over the whole minute?
The more detailed you are about the process, the better.
Please use the following 4 subheadings to receive full credit:
1) Hypothesis
• Restate (in one single sentence) your hypothesis to clearly identify your independent and dependent variables.
2) Participants
• What equipment will you need? Include every material you will need to complete your experiment. You should specify brand whenever possible; e.g. Bowflex elliptical
4) Procedures
