Student+D+Wounds

Do minor wounds (cuts, abrasions) heal faster with or without a bandage?


 * === brainstorm a list of all the variables that must be kept constant during the experiment: Variables that need to be kept constant in this experiment are the person, the type of wound, the size of wound, th elocation of wound, the type of bandage, the size of bandage, amount of oxygen exposed to wound, and how deep the wound is.===
 * === include identification of the independent variable: The independant variable is whether or not the wound has a bandage or not.===
 * === the dependent variable: The dependent variable is how quickly the wound heals.===
 * === identify the control group: The control group is the group not recieving the bandage.===
 * === identify the experimental group(s): The experimental group is the person recieving the bandage.===

3. Provide enough details for someone else to set up your experiment
=** If a bandage is not applied to a minor wound it will heal slower than with a bandage applied. **=


 * For you to make an experiment to see if this hypothesis is correct you need the findings accurate. So you need to take one person to do the experiment. You would make a small wound on a part of their body. Then put a bandage on it. Record how many days it takes to heal. Once they are healed make another wound. Make sure it is the same length, type, and as deep as the first one. Also make sure it is in the same part of the body. **

==**It is important for the person to be the same one in both experiments, because some people heel better than others. It is because some people have thinner bolood. It is harder for thin blood to clot than thicker blood.**==

==**It is important for the wound to be in the same spot too. this is important, because some parts of the body dont heal as quick. For example, head wounds bleed worse than on any where else on the body. Also it takes longer for head wounds to heal.**==

==**You would need to repeat this experiment multiple times. You should use different people each time. also you would need to keep the wounds consistant. if you cut one persons hand 5 centimeters from the tip of the pinky finger, you would need to do the same for every person. To make sure the experiment is accurate, make more wounds on different places on the body.**==
