Science Fair Proposal

  1. In a timed environment, there is a correlation between the Stroop Effect and standardized test taking.
  2. Dependent: Timed environment
    Independent: Stroop Effect
    Control: Standardized test taking 
  3. My E.Q. is "What is the most efficient way of Teaching U.S. History?" and if there is a correlation between the two, it could change the way I as a future teacher, would write tests.
  4. Seeing as i am a late contender this isn't final per-say. I will only need about about 40ish people and some paper. Ill print out a test and use it as a control, then print out the same test but change the multiple choice options and order of the questions.
  5. Behavioral Science
Procedure:
  1. First attain a sample size, of at least 25 people
  2. Allocate a test of 10 questions regarding "Stroop Effect"
  3. (Because testing should be in a timed environment) provide a time limit in correspondence with the amount of questions
  4. Prep students on the information that will be on the test
  5. Time students and administer the test
  6. Collect the tests from students
  7. Grade tests
