Group 24 - So you think you can smell?

Tuesday March 8th 2016- Decided on the project to be related to people not challenging the obvious. Also we completed Division of labor sheet. For our project, we will get candles, and switch the labels and have people smell. Then we will ask the people what they think it smells like.

Wed. March 9th- Thought more about how to execute performing the experiment or even possibly changing it. Also we began Student handout 12.

Thursday March 10th- We have completed the student handout 12, will begin background research. We are still discussing how to execute the lab. We decided to get multiple candles, each in pairs of 2. then we will cover the entire thing in tin foil so they cant see what it looks like. Next we will put labels on the tin foil. 2 exact same candles will be placed on the table. One with the correct label, and one candle with its label switched. We will make them smell the first one and tell us what they think it smells like. Then we will make them smell something in between. Finally they will smell the candle that´s the same as the first and we will ask them what they think it smells like.

Friday-March 11th- We have almost completed SH 13, but we have to type 2 paragraphs to turn it in.

Monday March 14th- We have complete SH 13, 14, and 15. We are ready to turn it in. Matt will get the poster board for Thursday. Over the weekend we will all get 2 candles that are the same. To finally start gathering the items for our experiment.

Tuesday March 12th- We have completed SH 16, 17, and are beginning 18. We are planning what the poster board should be called, and look like.

Wed. March 13th- We have finished all the handouts besides 18. Matt went to Micheal's and got the poster board for tomorrow. We explained the experiment to Mr. V so our idea got approved.

Thursday March 14th- We have completed SH 18, 19 , and 20. We resubmitted 18 because we fixed the citation and want 100%. We have our poster board. So now we will begin working on the poster board and our google form.

Friday March 15th- We are deciding how to set up our poster board to make it appealing. We decided on handing out candy to make people come to our booth.

Monday March 21- We started on our poster, we are working on our title and ways to make our poster pop. So far it was a very productive day, but we may have to take the poster home to complete it because class may not be enough time for us.

Tuesday March 22- We need to continue working at home because our title took too much time to complete. We will finish tonight and set up tomorrow. Also we are very excited to see the results that we obtain Thursday.

Wednesday March 23- We set up. The parents came and tested out the experiments, which went very well. We are ready for tomorrow

Thursday March 24- The psychology fair was a success. We proved our hypothesis right. Here are some pictures from our day. About 32% of 300 people said that the candles were the same, the rest were fooled.
