Science Fair

SF Title: How Music Can Create a Better Workplace

1. What is your hypothesis?
If a person is exposed to relaxing music, then they will be able to get higher scores on a test.

2. Identify the dependent (produced), independent (manipulated) and control variables in your hypothesis.
Indp: Type of music
Dep: Score on a test
Control: iPoly students, three different styles of music

3. What is the connection between your science fair project and your senior project EQ?
The connection between my science fair project and my senior project is that they both deal with what type of music a person can concentrate more with, just like nurses do.

4. How will you perform the experiment?  Include the equipment you plan on using.
Ask a teacher to use their classroom, test a group of students with no music, then with a certain style of music, and so on.  The test score will be plotted on a bar graph along with the style of music played.  This way I will determine the effectiveness of a certain style of music.  Also, I will call certain medical facilities to see what kind of background music they play, and compare that to my results.

5. Which category will your project be listed under? 
Behavioral Science
