Does music affect a child's ability to nap restfully? answer:Yes.

WHAT WOULD BE MY VARIABLE?

Variable is music. Control is what? silence? news? YOu have to state the control. How are you going to measure the results, as what is exactly "restful"?

I rest well with Mozart, and Hayden. But Punk Rock? Hardly.

Of course, how do I know I rest well if someone is not taking some type of data?

Good luck.

like what you mean restate the control? i don't understand this whole variable deal.

Check these sites. I hope they help you.

no

In order to determine the impact of music on a child's ability to nap restfully, the variable you would need to consider is the presence or absence of music during naptime. This variable would represent the factor that can be manipulated and tested to observe its effect on the child's ability to nap restfully.
