Does someone wearing hairspray attract more insects than someone who is not?
INCLUDE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING WITH YOUR EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: [remember it must be a controlled experiment] 1. A hypothesis: A person wearing hairspray attract more insects than a person that is not wearing hairspray. 2. Explain how to set up the experiment:
brainstorm a list ofall the variables that must be kept constant during the experiment:
type of hairspray
type of insects
color of hair
temperature of room
time of day
nocturnal or dayturnal
amount of hairspray
gender of person/insect
age of insects
age of person
race of person
blood type
include identification of the independent variable:The Hairspray
the dependent variable: Will the insects be attracted to the people wearing the hairspray.
identify the control group: The People that are not wearing hairspray
identify the experimental group(s): The people that are wearing hairspray
3. Provide enough details for someone else to set up your experiment:
Divide people in to 2 groups equally. (each group in one room).
The temperature of the room needs to be the same and also the same type of room, if its day or night.
Make sure the people are the same age, and race,also hair color and blood type,and the same gender of the person.
Put ten people in a room with hairspray on (experimental group).
You will need the same amount of hairspray and also the same type of hairspray.
Put ten people in a room without hairspray on (control group).
Release insects into each room (even amounts).
Same type of insects, the same age of the insects, and the same size of the insects
Monitor insects reaction to the hairspray (if attracted or not).
Then record the amount of the insects of each of the humans.
