Hypothesis
If I swimming 1 hour a day in moderate speed for 4 weeks, I will lose 1 pounds a week and total will be 4 pounds drop after 4 weeks.
Experiment method Swimming every night from 8-9pm at pool. Measure body weight without any foods and drinks. 1
Data Collection: make a chart from 10/5-11/3 Weight drop from 175lbs at 10/5 to 168lbs at 11/3 put weight number every day within 177lbs-166lbs
Purpose:
• The main goal of this project is to apply principles of the scientific method to a selfexperiment based on one of the dimensions of wellness that you have identify you would like to modify.
BASICS:
• For this project you will take your wellness goal set at the beginning of class, formulate a hypothesis, design a self-experiment, run the experiment, and then write up the results in a scientific lab report format.
Step 1: Develop a hypothesis based on one of the dimensions of wellness you learned in class that you have identified you would like to investigate for yourself. This statement gives a possibility (if) and explains what may happen because of the possibility (then).
Examples:
• If I set goals before studying, I will spend an average of 10 less minutes per hour on Social Media.
• If I eat an overall healthy diet (one which does not include fast food), then I will have more energy daily.
• I hypothesize that without restrictive diet (2,000 a day), cardio workout alone (60 minutes daily at 85 % target heart rate, then I will drop of three pounds a week for a total of nine pounds for three weeks.
• If I run 5 miles a day for 6 days a week for 4 weeks, I will lose 1 pound a week for a total of 4 pounds.
• If I only eat out once a week for 4 weeks, I will save $20.00 a week for a total of $80.00
Step II: Develop and identify the materials and the methods needed to conduct your selfexperiment. Explain what are your methods for your experiment. Make sure to include:
• Length of study (at least 3 weeks) Dance_3_2015 2
• What do you need to conduct the experiment?
• Define your outcome measures (what are you going to measure?)
• Details on how, when, where you are going to conduct the experiment?
Step III: Data Collection Update 10/20*
• Please provide an update on how your data collection is progressing in a word document (.doc).
• Please provide data for at least one week of data collection (Can be in a table format)
• Please provide details on what has been easy or challenging.
• What is your plan to stay on task for the rest of experiment?
Step IV: Follow the below instructions for writing up your experiment in a report format.
• Please use word and save it as a .doc file.
• Make sure to use 11-12 point font. • Please proofread your reports carefully.
• Can be written in first person.
• Please add your name and ID number to rubric and turn is as separate document on DROPBOX Return Assignments.
