Group 16 - Would you be a reliable Witness?

Day 1, March 8: Today, we picked our project for psych fair. We are doing an eye witness testimony. We plan to show the students a video of a robbery and have the participants choose who they think was guilty.

Day 2, March 9: We are going to look at this article to get information about how accurate eye witness testimonies are.  http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-the-eyes-have-it/
We are also going to look at this website to get information on a specific eye witness testimony
http://agora.stanford.edu/sjls/Issue%20One/fisher&tversky.htm

We used both of those articles to find out information about eyewitness testimonies.

Day 3, March 10: Today we began to fill out student Handout 13, which is an assignment where we have to analyze the articles/experiments we are studying .

Day 4, March 11: We are finishing up Student Handout 13.

PSYCH FAIR:
our candy is gone.

Monday after psych fair, March 28:  The first period of psych fair was successful and we were very relentless when getting people to come to our booth. It was nice to have a 30 minute break during second hour. It helped us fix a few things and discuss how we thought the first period went. Then, the rush of 3-8 period came. We didn't really get a break other than the passing periods, which was fine. For the most part, one member of our group tried to always be in front of the booth trying to get participants. By the time 7th hour came, all three of us were exhausted and we were successful with reaching our goal of 400-500 participants.
