There's only a few days until we have to hand the SRP in and i am getting stressseddd :/ I still need to work out everyone's results and what they mean!
Questions:
1. Do i have to hand it ALL the permission notes?
2. When i mention certain people, do i say subject/person #1?
3. How can i have pictures and diagrams if my experiment is a people's experiment?
Thanks, Amy

People Experiment
Hey everyone, so ive started my actual srp experiment. Ive recorded the responses and reactions of 30 different people and i have their permission notes :) there's 15 girls (easy to find) and 15 boys (harder to find).
Ive also started my introduction of my report and i will try to do the acknowledgements soon because it looks the easiest. :P
Sighh... i've still got heaps to do though and i have other assignments and things due as well.

My Experiment :D
Aim: to find out whether or not different age groups and genders affect their reactions/ reaction time.
Hypothesis: Younger people have faster reactions than older people. and Females have faster reactions than males.
Independent Variable: Gender and Age
Dependent Variable: Colours, words and pictures on cards.
Equipment:
* 20 large cards
* an easel
* a stopwatch
* 2 chairs
* a pointing stick
Method:
1. Collect equipment.
2. Organize 15 males and 15 females to participate in the experiment.
3. Sort people into different categories e.g. males versus females, under 18s versus over 18s, over 18s males versus under 18s females etc. Each person may fall into more than one category.
4. Conduct the experiment one to one with each person.
5. Hold up various large cards, with different words, pictures or colours on them, in front of each person. Cards include puzzles like "where's wally", words that say a colour but spelled a different colour, etc.
6. Use a stopwatch to time how long each person reacts and responds.
7. Make a table to record information.
8. Record the time in seconds in the table.
9. Repeat steps 4 to 8 with each person three times.
Risk Assessment:
Identify:
1. Pointing stick may poke someone's eye.
2. Easel may fall on top of someone.
Assess:
1. If stick is in eye, this may cause be painful and uncomfortable. Irritation and infection may occur.
2. Easel is heavy so therefore if someone is squashed under it they may be in pain.
Control:
1. Do not direct the pointing stick towards somebody's eye. Do not run with the stick.
2. Stabilize the easel properly and make sure nothing/ no-one pushes it.
Disposal:
N/A
that's it :)

Time Flys When It's The Holidays
Pretty much a month has passed since my last post :S so im writing a new post about my SRP and how its going.
