Hi, I'm doing a science fair and they're asking us to put pictures of us doing experiments or to bring in a model. In my project I experimented on people so was I supposed to take pictures of people performing the tasks? I already did the project and experiments and did them at a mall, if I had to take pictures what should I do? And if I need a model what should it be?
If it helps my project is on multitasking. I was trying to see if people work better while multitasking or without and I also compared if it was easy or hard for them.
-Thank you in advance
I suggest you take pictures similar to what you would have taken at the mall. They would be pictures of people multitasking at the mall.
I don't know what kind of model would illustrate your experiment.
thank you
Have you considered a collage of people doing the various tasks with you recording their progress (however you did it)?
I hope this helps.
actually that is the kind of way i did it. I almost did 2 experiments on a total of 150 people. Thanks anyway
For your science fair project on multitasking, taking pictures of people performing the tasks would be a helpful visual aid to include in your presentation. Since you conducted your experiment at a mall, it may not be feasible to go back and take pictures of the actual participants. However, there are a few alternatives you can consider:
1. Model or Re-enactment: You can recreate the experiment using volunteers or friends as models. Have them perform the tasks you designed, and take pictures of them in a similar setting. Make sure to recreate the conditions as accurately as possible to maintain the integrity of your experiment.
2. Infographics or Diagrams: Instead of actual pictures, you could create infographics or diagrams that represent the tasks and the conditions in your experiment. Use icons, symbols, or visual representations to portray the different elements involved. This can be an effective way to convey information without directly showing pictures of people.
For your project on multitasking, if you need a model, consider using a visual representation of multitasking itself. Here are a few options:
1. Flowcharts: Create a flowchart that illustrates the steps involved in multitasking. Use symbols and arrows to depict different tasks, priorities, and transitions.
2. Diagrams: Use a diagram to explain the relationship between different tasks and show how they are interconnected. You can use circles or shapes to represent tasks and lines to connect them.
3. Graphs: Present data in the form of graphs to compare the performance of individuals while multitasking and while focusing on a single task. This can include bar graphs, line graphs, or pie charts.
Remember, the key is to effectively communicate your experiment and its results visually. Choose a format that best represents your findings and helps the viewers understand your project more easily. Good luck with your science fair!
