7. Construct an experiment from a given hypothesis and identify the independent and dependent variables.
Using the study shown on page twenty-seven, researchers wanted to know when sleep deprived do people remember less from the day before? We are going to use one hundred random students from Iowa University. Beginning on Saturday we will have everyone eating the same meals, getting the same amount of rest and exercise. Saturday they will all get 9 hours of sleep. Sunday they will again have the same meal, amount of sleep, and exercise, but will also spend the day undergoing various classroom learning exercises. At the end of the day they will undergo some basic tests to establish a baseline of what they remember.
That evening we will take twenty-five of the one hundred students and label them are control group. They will receive nine hours of sleep. The remaining seventy- five will be our testing group. The testing will be broken into three sub groups consisting of twenty- five students each. Group A will only receive seven hours of sleep, group B will receive four hours of sleep, and group C will receive zero hours of sleep. To eliminate factors that might throw off results the conditions in all three rooms during waking hours will be the same.
The next morning all one hundred students will be given the same tests as the day before. Results will be calculated and graphed. In this experiment the independent variables are the hours of sleep a student receives. The dependent is the test results that show the amount of memory a student retained.
Artifact #1
This graph shows how the amount of sleep a student gets can affect memory and which can lead to bad grades.
Artifact #2
The bottom graph shows how much on average shows how much sleep a college student gets.
