Student Stress Data Sheets (your own design) some type of spreadsheet software for tabulating data collected STUDENT OBJECTIVES: SCIENCE Students will... predict the outcome of an experiment with human subjects make and accurately record observations draw conclusions from data analyze experimental design for weaknesses redesign experiment to incorporate corrections and changes investigate applications of liquid crystal technology to stress studies MATHEMATICS Students will... use experimental data to construct box and whisker plots scatter plots stacked bar plots choose appropriate graphs for information collected be able to interpret information displayed in each graph find and analyze patterns and correlations INFORMATION MANAGEMENT Students will... demonstrate ability to efficiently manage information and data gathered during learning situations research information pertaining to liquid crystals , physiological stress reactions, stress management access and utilize services and resources available in the school, community and online sources create visual or audiovisual aids to communicate information interpret information from multimedia sources research other applications of liquid crystal technology ACTIVITIES/PROCEDURES: Students will research liquid crystals and stress reactions Students will design an experiment to measure stress levels using BIODOTS as indicators design a form for stress data collection choose time period and length of data collection study subjects will wear BIODOTS on wrists and antecubital (inside elbow) areas for period decided study subjects will record BIODOT colors, activities and time of day collect data sheets analyze problems encountered with experimental design and redesign and repeat if necessary Students will choose appropriate graphs to present information gathered,such as: Box and Whisker plot of stress level range vs. activity Scatter plot of assumed stress level for various activites ( test taking, watching TV, etc) vs. BIODOT color Stacked Bar Graph of left side stress level vs. right side stress level Stacked Bar Graph of Time of Day vs. Stress level Students will write an interpretation of the information graphed Students will prepare overhead transparencies of the graphs and plots Students will draw a conclusion from the data gathered and predict what the results would be using different parameters for the experiment Students will communicate results of experiment in the school media and on the I Internet Students can address questions raised during the experiment by doing further research.
