Science Fair Part A



Part A



I am working on the science fair with Su-Hyeon. Our question is,  "Which is easier for people to memorize? Picture or vocabulary?". We're testing 10 girls on short-term memorization. First, we show the participants 10 pictures of animals. They have to memorize it in 20 seconds and write the animals down. ( It doesn't need to be in odor and spelling doesn't count) Next, they have memorize 10 names of animals. We'll correct the data and make a graph. We finished partA and now we are working on Part B which is the final report.



The purpose of the activity is to find a topic which we think interesting, then do researches, we actually do a experiment by our self and make a conclusion. On the SMYLE journal, we are doing the same steps expect mainly the hypothesis and conclusion as the science fair project.

I learned the correct way to write a science report from the rubric and the textbook. To use the methods, I can make the the science project intuitive and catchy for the readers. Since I didn't finish the experiment yet, I don't know the result of it, but from the researches I learned that to memorize pictures are easier than memorizing words and the way learning vocabularies is used to treat  the patient of Dementia. It helps them to recall the many things they need to live.

I learned differently by doing another experiment. Before I begun this experiment I was testing the short-term memorization of 10 numbers by changing the gender. But, this experiment didn't work, it didn't make sense, because on the research we did, it says that girls memorize more than boys. But, actually boys were better. then, we realized that doesn`t answer our research questions much.

The activity related to my goal this year, because I learned the correct way to write report of sceience. Last year, I had science fair, but I didn`t understand what I was suppose to do.
