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 will attract more insects than someone who is not. 2. Explain how to set up the experiment:
brainstorm a list ofall the variables that must be kept constant during the experiment
gender
material of clothing
kind of clothing
hygiene
amount of hairspray
how old hairspray is

environment
amount of insects
skin color
hair color

perfume
makeup
health
color of clothes
age
what they ate
amount of people
types of insects
what chemicals are in the hairspray
how much hairspray they are wearing
include identification of the independent variable The amount of hairspray being used
the dependent variable The amount of insects attracted to the people
identify the control group Group with no hairspray
identify the experimental group(s) Groups with hairspray
3. Provide enough details for someone else to set up your experiment
First, get a group of 100 people
Split into four groups. Each group will have 25 people.
Put each group into a separate room. Each room will be the same size, be the same temperature, and be the same color.
Keep one group with no hairspray, the second group with a little amount of hairspray, the third group will have a medium amount of hairspray, and the last group will have a high amount of hairspray.
Put each group into the room for one hour with the insects. Make sure each room has the same amount of insects.
Moniter the amount of insects each person attracts.
