Natural Pills Effect Learning?
Hypothesis: I assume that the pills which include natural ingredients would be effective to the high school student’s learning. The pill would improve short term memory and sharpens mental alertness with no side effects. avoid first person assumptions when writing a hypothesis
Population sample: 100 high school senior class students. Since the company wanted to focus on the high school and college students, I think it could be a good choice to use senior high school students as examples for the experiment, they still remain as high school students but in a way they’re moving ahead to college soon. Also we would chose students that are taking the same subject, in the same learning environment which are not doing as good in their class. also test usually require subjects to be18
Independent variables: To give the students the pill. Dependent variables: How well the students do on the tests, and effective the pills are to their learning.
Control groups: The group of students that do their test and learning without the pills. Experimental groups: The group of students that do their test and learning after taking the pills.
Experiment:
Part A - First we have to test the safeness of the pills before using it on humans. White rats could be used for the experiment, giving the pills to rats and then observe their chemical or physical changes for a period of time. If the rats have no negative impact from the pills, then it can be concluded that the pills have no side-effects. If the rats showed to have changes in their body or health, it reveals that possible health damage would occur to human beings whom take the pills.
Part B - If the results in part A proved that the pills are safe, we can then continue the experiment. First, we take high school senior students which take the same course in school, having the same teachers and doing the same work. The group of students would have approximant same average or test scores in class. For example we would take 100 high school seniors that take the same US history class (I decided on US history, because it’s a subject that involves in a lot of memorization, whereas the company have claimed that their product would improve short term memory.), and having an average of around C in class. Then we divide the students into two groups, 50 to 50, one group would be the control group which remains the same (same way of studying, learning, taking notes etc.), without taking the pills, the other group would have the same way of studying as they did before, but they would take the pill continuously through their learning. After a month, we bring the 100 students together and give them the exact same test over US history and analyze the results. If the group of students that took the pills has shown obvious improvement on their test scores (not necessary 100% improvement, but a high enough percentage that shows that most students have improved.) compared to the students that didn’t take the pills, it can be concluded that the pills are effective and does improve the learning of students.
