Science Fair Proposal

1. What is Your Hypothesis?
Left handed males and females in the 6th grade will get lower GPA scores than that of a right handed male and female in the 6th grade.

2. Identify the Dependent (produces), Independent (manipulated) and control variables in you hypothesis.
      control: 6th grade males and females, Dependent: GPA, Independent: left to right handed

3. What is the connection between your science fair project and your senior project EQ?
   My science fair project deals with mainly 6 graders and there GPA in right and left handed kids, this connects to my Senior project because in Child Development there Cognitive learning starts from a young age. For example learning how to right with either your left or right hand.


4. How will you preform the experiment? Include the Equipment you plan on using.
     I have called three Middle schools in order to collect data from different 6 grade classrooms. I will then use the data to make a judgment on weither or not left hand 6ths graders get low GPA scores then right hand 6th graders. After that I will try to learn why this happens.

5. Which category will your project be listed under (For a full list of categories go to the Ipoly Physics webpage then go to Science fair tab.
