Is Stress a Mess

Caleb Hatfield

Rationale (or Summary)


1)
2)
3)

I wanted to do this project because I often have a lot of stress and I wanted
to see how other people perform under stress.
what importance it has and
Some background information is, that stress affects you in many ways.
Stress can affect you physically, mentally, and in many other ways.

Investigative Question
Will students perform better on a quiz better
under stress and with a bad environment, or
with no stress and a good environment?

Hypothesis
I Hypothesise that the student working with no
pressure and a good environment will get better
test results than the people taking the test
under pressure.

Variables
My independent Variable is the students I am using and the
type of environments.
My dependant variable is: The grades the student get.
Other possible variables that were kept constant throughout
the project are: The type of test and the problems in the
test.

Materials Needed (in detail - metric units)


For this project I will need 8 copies of the test.
Second I will need a hallway or a classroom or
some place to conduct the experiment.Finally I
will need 8 student 4 in each group.

Procedure (numbered, step-by-step)


1)Get 2 groups of students each containing 4 students in each group to take a test.
2)Grade the tests of each group and analyze the data.
3) Then I will put it into a graph.

This is a chart showing the grades and the average grades of the group with
stress.

Data tables

Results
As you can see from the graphs the students that took the test in a good environment performed better than the
students who took the test in a bad environment.

Conclusion
I did prove my thesis to be correct because the students did better in
the better environment.
There is no relation between my Independent variable and my
Dependent Variable.

Next Time/Future Considerations


Next time I do this experiment I will use more
test subjects from different age groups.
Next time I do this I will change the type of
environments such as giving snacks to one
group and in the other group making it more
stressful.

Acknowledgments
I would like to thank all of the student who took
part in this project.
