Are you left or right sided? By: Felicity Breedlove, and IzzyFabry
Are you left or right sided? Do you use the left or right side of your brain more? Question
There are two sides of the brain • Each person’s brain is patterned differently • One side is usually more active than the other • Different places in your brain are more important for certain things Background Information
If the person participants are from the same family then we think that they will have a lot of the same data Hypothesis
Paper • Pen or pencil • Scissors • Ball • Stairs • A coin • Paper towel tube • Sea shell • Volunteers—at least 10 • Lab Notebook Materials
Make sure that each volunteer has time to do all of the tests and that you have all of the test materials ready. • On chart 1 do test 1 for hand dominance and write which hand they use. • Then do all of the other tests for hand dominance. • Test 2 is foot dominance, write which foot they use in each test. Procedure
Test 3 is eye dominance. Record which eye they use. • Test 4 is ear dominance. Record which ear they use. • Make Table 2 for each volunteer. Write left or right for the majority of which hand they use most. Do this for hand, foot, eye, and ear dominance. • Calculate the percentage of people who are right and left handed, eye, foot, and ear dominant. Procedure 2
Now look at the data. • Are there more volunteers who are right or left dominant with their hands, feet, eyes, or ears? • Now make a bar graph with two bars, one for left side and one for right side. Write the percentage under it. Procedure 3
Is a bar graph • Under each bar there is the percent Graph 3
One variable is find other ways to test if they are left or right sided. • Choose volunteers from different families because sidedness can run in the family. • When you collect data you can see if sidedness in linked to age or gender. Variables
