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


 * 1. A hypothesis: ** Minor wounds will heal faster without bandages than with bandages.
 * 2. Explain how to set up the experiment: **
 * ** brainstorm a list of all the variables that must be kept constant during the experiment: ** The size of the cut, the bandage brand, the depth of the cut, what is in the bandage, peoples blood type, the peoples weight, the tempature of the rooms, the size of bandage, how you got the cut, what condition the cut is in.
 * ** include identification of the independent variable: ** Bandages
 * ** the dependent variable: ** Do cuts heal faster without banages than with them.
 * ** identify the control group: ** Group A without bandage
 * ** identify the experimental group(s): ** Group B with bandage
 * 3. Provide enough details for someone else to set up your experiment: ** A scientist was wondering if cuts heal faster with or without bandages. For an expirement he got 50 people and gave them all the same kind of cut and split them into two groups. He didn't have Group A put on a bandage, but he had group B put on a bandage. then every three hours he would check on all of the cuts to see which ones were healing faster.
