As part of study, Form one students were asked to find out whether girls performing better than boys in physics. If you are the one;
Ask questions, formulate hypothesis and carry out experiment to test your hypothesis
Questions:
1. Are girls performing better than boys in physics?
2. What factors could potentially contribute to any differences in performance between girls and boys in physics?
Hypothesis:
Girls are performing better than boys in physics due to differences in study habits and engagement in the subject.
Experiment:
1. Select a sample group of equal number of girls and boys from the Form one students.
2. Administer a pre-test to assess the physics knowledge and understanding of both girls and boys.
3. Monitor the study habits and engagement in physics of both groups over a certain period of time, for example, a semester.
4. Collect data on factors such as time spent studying physics, participation in physics-related extracurricular activities, and self-reported interest and motivation in the subject.
5. After the designated time period, administer a post-test to assess any improvements or changes in physics performance for both girls and boys.
6. Analyze the collected data to determine if there is a significant difference in performance between girls and boys in physics.
7. Compare the study habits and engagement in physics between the two groups to identify any potential factors that may contribute to the observed performance differences.
8. Evaluate the hypothesis based on the findings of the experiment.
