How Does Peppermint Affect Reaction Time?
Written summary
The reaction time test that had taken place involved the students to sit at a laptop and press the go button on the screen with their touch pad and wait for the stimulus to appear on the screen. When this stimulus would appear the student would then have to press on their touchpad with their writing hand and the amount of time that it took for the student to react to the stimulus and press the touchpad was the reaction time that was timed. The test was taken 3 times and the average of that was the result. And this whole proses was done one time without peppermint and once after peppermint was eaten. Before the test took place each of the students has practised doing the test without eating the peppermint a few times to be familiarized

When separating the male and female groups and looking at their averages, both males and females reaction time increased but the female's reaction time increased more than the male's reaction time. But the SD was still smaller than the average difference concluding inconsistent …show more content…
There were also students who did not specifies if they were biologically male or female and the results that they provided was not used.

Nick’s G line, Nick’s F and Maha’s A line all also collected extra data after 5 minutes of eating peppermint and after 10 minutes of eating peppermint. The Average after for the three groups after 5 minutes was 0.32051 and the average for the 3 groups 10 minutes after eating peppermint is 0.307517, these averages are similar to the averages over all before eating peppermint and after and show no significant change over those periods of time. Maha’s A line also collected even more data but none of that data was used as a part of the overall calculations

Restated hypothesis
The null hypothesis for the experiment was ‘Peppermint oil has no effect on reaction time.’

You can then use your biology to explain what is similar and differnt about our experiment compared to Ilmberger, Meamarbashi etc.

    In our experiment we conducted an experiment to validify our hypothesis: “ If the enzyme concentration increases, it would alter the rate of which the color changes.” We hypothesized that the increase of an enzyme concentration would result in the increase of reaction rate; our experiment provided enough data to prove our hypothesis. The function of this experiment was to investigate how the influence of turnip peroxidase enzyme on the rate of reaction. As a given we would have 20g of turnip in 500 mL of deionized water. We would have a three different trials and in those trials we would do it three times.…

    I have chosen to describe the study to be performed by the pharmaceutical company that wants to test a new sleep aid. Before they engage in human studies the researchers must determine what they want to prove exactly. Since the goal of the drug is to promote better sleep habits, the hypothesis for this study would be that individuals taking this new aid will fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer than they did before they started taking the drug.…

    The purpose of my science fair project is so that people know what the liquids that I added can do to an egg. My problem statement is what kind of liquid such as water, milk, or vinegar will dissolve egg shell the fastest? My hypothesis was proven correct because my Hypothesis was if I test which liquid will dissolve an egg shell faster: water, milk, or vinegar, then I predict that the vinegar is going to dissolve the egg shell faster. Procedures: Pour the liquid into a measuring cup to have them all be 6 ounces, pour the liquid into a different cup, repeat step 2 and 3 with the other liquids, put one egg in each cup, place the cups side by side in a table, let them sit for 24 hours, check every 8 hours, record the data, record data after 24…

    The children in the unreliable environment waited for 3 minutes while the children were able to wait for 12 minutes. Most of the children said they would wait, when the researchers asked them if they will wait or not. Some of them failed in doing so, because they could not resist the pull of temptation for even a minute. So as soon as the researcher left the room to get the other treat, they immediately consumed the marshmallow.…

    Therefore for Subjects 2, 4, and 6 the body is faster than average of taking impulses from the occipital lobe to the motor cortex of the brain which then produced the movement. This and different life experiences lead to the 3 subjects to be faster than the other 3 subjects. https://www.scienceworld.ca/resources/activities/reaction-time-ruler The second reaction time test is the sorting of cards in two different ways. One trial involved sorting the cards by color and the other by sorting the cards by suit the fastest.…

    The focus of this particular research paper was to prove or disprove the theory that testosterone levels would rise based on the presence of a toy gun. The independent variable consisted of a pellet gun identical to a Desert Eagle handgun for the experimental subjects and the Mouse Trap children’s game for the control subjects. The dependent variable was the amount of hot sauce each test subject placed into individual cups for the next test subjects. The population studied for this research were 30 male college students willing to provide saliva samples. The procedures that were followed were simplistic. Each of the men provided a saliva sample for a baseline testosterone level. They were then put into a room with a TV, a table with a piece of paper and either the gun or game. They were instructed to draw the object and write a set of instructions to assemble and dissemble it. After 15 minutes, the experimenter obtained a second saliva sample and measured the testosterone level. The subjects were then instructed to taste a cup of water that had hot sauce in it that was prepared by a previous subject and rate the taste. The subjects were then bought a cup of water and asked to put as much hot sauce in it as the wanted to for the next set of test subjects. The results were that the men that interacted with the gun showed a greater increase in testosterone and they added more hot sauce to the water than those with the toy.…

    briefly, what procedure was employed: Before the experiment begun both the experimental and the control group were asked to give a 6-ml sample of their saliva, which was used to measure their starting testosterone levels. The subjects were then placed in similar rooms with a particular item on a table. For the experimental group, the particular item was a pellet gun identical in size, shape and feel too a Desert Eagle handgun. The Control subjects object was the children’s game Mouse Trap. Subjects were then told to handle the objects for 15 minutes and other tasks pertaining to the object. After the 15 minutes were over another saliva sample was taken. The subject was then told to take a sip of water with a single drop of hot sauce. The subject was then told that the sample had been prepared by a previous subject and to rate the taste of the sample on a provided scale. The subject was then told to create a sample for the next subject by placing as much hot sauce in the water that they wanted but was assured that neither the next subject nor the experimenter would know how much hot sauce they put in it. Lastly the subjects had to watch a relaxing video of nature scenes and classical music.…
