Experiments – Human Physiology• Your job:

– Using the sensors that we have your job is to develop some original experiments.

– You need to come up with 10 ideas– From those 10 ideas we will narrow down the field to the top 5.– For those top 5 you will need to write down the purpose of those

experiments and provide a brief description of how those experiments would be conducted and what you would be looking for.

– For the top 2, you will need to write out the experimental design for both of those experiments

– For the top choice, you will actually perform the experiment and conduct research, gather results, and analyze the results of your experiment.

Warm Up (4-21-15)

Now that your research is progressing, are there any experiments that you are finding more interesting than your original choices?(Please remember that for your experiment, it does need to be original, meaning you can modify an experiment you find but you should not copy it exactly.)

Warm Up (4-22-15)

• Develop a name for the experiment that your group chose to do. Try to come up with at least two different ideas for a name.– Good scientific experiments don’t have “cute”

names. Sometimes they are extremely detailed and might be confusing to someone if they didn’t have a science background.
