group 18 :)
11/12/18
Our experiment is the goggles and scooters. We worked today on division of labor, developing our hypothesis, and learning about our topic.
11/13/18
today we worked on outlines 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15.
we decided on our experiment which will be three rounds of scootering
round 1: without distortion goggles (control group)
round 2: with distortion goggles
round 3: with distortion goggles, but toss them a ball to improve heir hand eye coordination
11/14/18
we worked on outlines 16 and 17
we decided that our topic is brain plasticity and how our brain is able to adjust under altered circumstances
11/15/18
outlines 17 and 18
wrote out our procedure and decided on materials we needed
started to talk about what to put on our trifold poster
11/16/18
worked on the next outlines and wrote out the background information
11/19/18 and 11/20/18
gathered pictures and information for the poster
11/21/18 to 11/26/18
break! put together trifold
11/27/18
gathered the materials needed for our experiment
(2 pairs of visual impairment goggles, two scooters, a roll of tape)
made the handouts
11/28/18
day of the fair:
our experience with the fair was overall well.
We were located upstairs directly across from the staircase, for our experiment this location was not as ideal because there wasn't that much space for the participants to scooter, but the experiment still went well. The PAC was very crowded and hot. It was also very loud so it was hard to try and attract students to come to our booth because there were a lot of distractions.
Results of our experiment:
We proved our theory correct. The first round of scootering, participants were able to ride in a straight line. The second round was difficult for some, however they were a fair amount that were able to perform well and ride in a straight line despite the visual impairment. For those who had a difficult time riding with the goggles on, the third round was helpful to them and they performed better because they had adjusted and were able to navigate better.
Throughout the day we had a range of mostly juniors and seniors. There were a handful of freshmen and sophomores, and we had three teachers participate as well. The most difficult part for the teachers was getting down on the scooter.
We were expecting about 10 people per hour to try out experiment; we were about 10 people off because we ended the day with 60 participants, rather than the 70 that we planned for.
If we were to perform this experiment again, we would probably have participants ride in a series of different courses. For example, we realized that a straight line might be too easy, and it would have been better to do a straight line, zig-zag, or a small course of cones that participants should navigate. We would also have a better experiment if we had more space, and were not located near the stairs were people would potentially fall down. It also was an issue with space because participants would have to navigate away from all the people walking around.
Overall, our experiment turned out well, and most things went as expected. Participants enjoyed trying on the visual impairment goggles.
