1. Choosing A Project:

TOPICS THAT INTEREST ME: CURRICULUM CONNECTION: · Build a Rube Goldberg contraption-simple machines

· Make a guinea pig remember how to go through maze- biology, reactions

-optical illusions- biology, reactions

MY TESTABLE QUESTION: -optical illusions- how do people react to them, what do they see?

INDEPENDENT VARIABLE: -optical illusions- different types of illusions

DEPENDENT VARIABLE

· optical illusions- how people react to them and what they see

2. Investigate the Information:

_ NOTES/FACTS:



NOW THAT I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH, I PREDICT THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION WILL BE: I think that the younger grades will not be able to concentrate as long as the older people will.

3. Plan A Procedure: Green dot- time in seconds Dancing girl- which direction she is spinning Duck/ rabbit- which one Vain Lady/Skull-which one Man in coffee beans- how long Lift- how long Good/Evil-Which one --

People to test -2 pre schoolers –one girl, one boy -2kindergarteners–one girl, one boy -2 1st graders–one girl, one boy -2 2nd graders–one girl, one boy -2 3rd graders–one girl, one boy - 2 4th graders–one girl, one boy -2 5th graders–one girl, one boy -2 6th graders–one girl, one boy -2 7th graders–one girl, one boy - 2 8th graders–one girl, one boy - 2 high schooler –one girl, one boy - 4 adults = 2 men and two women

4. What I'll Need: A powerpoint with all of the optical illusions I have these: I need to locate these: two children, one girl and one boy from each grade up to highschoolers, and then also four adults, two males and two females

5. Keeping Track - Proposed Data Sheet



6. Analyze It All

_ Here's a Graph:

The data shows that. . . . Most people see a certian image. Most people saw good, a skull, Duck, and no Lift.

Therefore, I conclude that. . . . Most people see the same thing, but some see something different.

But was my work valid? . . . I interviewed some people, and I discovered that one was acually colorblind! However, I noticed something strange. At school, most people saw the dancing girl going clockwise, but when I did it at churce, everybody saw it going counterclockwise. I do not know why this was, but it was kind of interesting.
