The Third Step: Experimenting


Over the last few weeks we have made a lot of progress on our project. We conducted an experiment on our group and analyzed our results. We had them exercise every day for thirty minutes for one week to see if it helped them deal with stress. The data was around 50/50 with about half the group saying that it helped and the other half saying they didn’t feel a change. Currently, we are having them participate in another experiment using the technique of not procrastinating. Next week we will check back in with them and see how they felt about the method they tested. We also have been working on a Google slides showing the process that we go through while doing this project. The next steps for our project would be to continue working on our Google slides and gather/analyze the data from our current experiment.One setback we had was getting our group too do the methods every day with the schedules they have. For example, one of the members of our experiment did not have time to exercise the night before a test so we were not able to get the results that we desired. One thing we learned about ourselves through this setback is too know that we can not always go according to plan. We learn to overcome and understand the struggles that we may have along the way.
