LOOKING INTO THE CRITERIA /O_O\

1. is reliable ~TICK
i will talk to ms zhang to see if there are any further adjustments needed but for now i'm quite satisfied.

2. will be conducted fairly
the CONTROL of my experient does not need to be too strict as i am investegating a large group of people. AGE and ENVIRONMENT (where experiment is conducted) is quite adequate.

3. can be completed within the time frame
it think the 5 months will be reasonable for me to complete the experiment as i will be required to observe a decent number of people.

4. can be conducted at home using normal household equipment
i own (well dad does, but he doesnt mind)the required equipment

5. can give you a VALID and conclusive result.
i plan to observe a large number of participants (at least 50) allowing a valid conclusion. my conclusion will be the rate of blood pressure increase/decrease/dialation when a person is imagining the senario. it will be helpful in the future so we can all know how to lower our blood pressure to help us fall asleep or STAY CALM! before tests :)

  1. Julie, I'm a little bit hesitant about your project, only because there are SOOOOOO many variables in it.

    For example, how will a person's normal blood pressure come into it? Are you specifically looking at the systolic or the diastolic pressures? How would a person's average "day" influence their blood pressure? What physical activities has that person done during a day? etc etc.

    You have approval to do the project, but make sure that you are actually researching it in FULL.
