HELP w/hypothesis...

AFTER you've done your research and concluded your experiments, it is time to prepare for the science fair. Ask specific questions about preparing for a science fair, including how to set up your display board, how to prepare a presentation, etc. (Please post questions about selecting a project or conducting your experiment by posting in the appropriate "area of science" forum.)

We are dtermining if your heart rate increases with exergames compared to heart rate increases with jogging in place. We are using three different volunteers with three trials of Wii Sports (tennis) and the same volunteers with three trials of jogging in place and then comparing resting heart rate to maximum heart rate. I am looking for help with the hpothesis that is catchy and captures the readers' interest.

lpj,

Sounds like a fun project. Good luck with it.

Have you taken a look at the Science Buddies guide on writing a hypothesis? (https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... esis.shtml) If not, check that out first.

Note that your project hypothesis is *your* educated guess at what will be the outcome of the experiment. It isn’t something that someone else should create for you.

So, for starters, come up with something that reflects how you think the results will turn out. Make a stab at writing it in a concise, understandable statement. Don’t worry at this point about making it “catchy”. Post it here and then we can offer ideas on how to make it more interesting to the reader.
