 * 1. A hypothesis: Someone who is wearing hairspray will attract more insects than someone who is not wearing hairspray. **
 * 2. Explain how to set up the experiment: **
 * ** brainstorm a list of all the variables that must be kept constant during the experiment: The type of hairspray, The smell of hairspray, How old hairspray is, The type of insect, What is in the hairspray, How much hairspray on a person, Where hairspray came from, What they are wearing, The thickness of how they are wearing it, How they are wearing hairspray, Where the experiment is done, Where insect is from, Hairspray chemicals, What type of day, The temprature, How many people in a group **
 * ** include identification of the independent variable: Insects with hairspray **
 * ** the dependent variable: How many insects the hairspray will attract. **
 * ** identify the control group: Someone who is not wearing hairspray. **
 * ** identify the experimental group(s): The type of hairspray and type of insects. **
 * 3. Provide enough details for someone else to set up your experiment: **
 * Jane believes that hairspray will attract more insects than no hairspray. He decides to check to see if the hypothesis is correct by doing a exoeriment. So Jane takes a Group A puts hairspray on them and watches how many insects go on them then Group B does not get hairspray put on them and watches how many insects no hairsprays attracts. She makes sure that she puts the same amount of hairspray on Group A. Jane went and looked every half hour. After she went and looked she found out that after two hours people with hairspray on them attracted more insects than Group B with no hairspray on them. **
