Graph of Hypothesis


= **Experimental Design** = ===I am going to conduct an experiment that will help me determine if colder or warmer temperatures make your running speed faster. I will be conducting my experiment at the Madison Elementary School. There will be five people involved in this experiment. All will be running. Two people will be taking pictures at different times. Two people timing at different times. We are going to do ten trials each person each day for five days. I think that I will have plenty of data to make accurate results. === ===I will conduct the experiment and record my data as I go along. I plan to upload all my data at the same time and in to the wiki. To prove that i have conducted this experiment I will take pictures and then give them to my teacher. ===

= Materials List =
 * ===Pencil ===
 * ===Hard surface ===
 * ===Copy of spreed sheet ===
 * ===Tape measure ===
 * ===Four other people ===
 * ===Timer ===
 * ===Start and finish line ===
 * ===Thermometer ===
 * ===Camera ===

= Detailed Procedure =
 * 1) ===Go to a large open area outside with materials. ===
 * 2) ===Measure how long your run will be with a tape measure. ===
 * 3) ===Set up a start and a finish at either ends of the tape measure. ===
 * 4) ===Use the thermometer to take the temperature. ===
 * 5) ===Record on copy of spreed sheet. ===
 * 6) ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4cd327; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Have each person run as fast as they can with a person timing them each time a person runs. ===
 * 7) ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4cd327; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Have each person run 5 times each. ===
 * 8) ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4cd327; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Repeat steps 1-7, except inside. ===
 * 9) ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4cd327; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Come back the next day and repeat steps 1-8. ===
 * 10) ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4cd327; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Repeat steps 1-9 for 5 days total. ===
 * 11) ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4cd327; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Photographer should be taking pictures through out the experiment. ===
 * 12) ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4cd327; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Input all data and send all pictures to teacher. ===

= Background Research =
 * 1) ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4cd327; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">1.The best temperature for breathing is about 62 degrees it is not to hot nor to cold ===
 * 2) ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4cd327; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Cold air constricks the air ways making it harder to breath ===
 * 3) ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4cd327; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It is harder to breath in hot weather ===
 * 4) ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4cd327; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The integumentary system regulates body tempeture ===

Conclusion
===<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The original purpose of my experiment was to see if speed is affected by temperature (F). The experiment was tested by measuring a distance and then timing people in different temperatures and timing people to see if there was any change in time. The results of my experiment were as temperature gets colder time lowers. ===

= Discussion = ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">My hypothesis was that the temperature would reach its best speed at 65 degrees and then decrease evenly as the temperature got hotter or colder. My data did not support my hypothesis. The data showed that the colder it was the faster you went. the numbers were really close but that went up a little. === ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #00ff00; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I think that the test I did went smoothly it only took a few minutes every day but there were some problems with using the gym so we used the hallway everything else took about 15 minutes. If i Could improve my experiment I would make the distance that the people run bigger. A future study might use this for an indoor track to figure out what the temperature inside would be so that the athletes could perform better. ===
