Hello. I assume you are talking about this experiment.

I want you to take a first shot at your question.

Objective data is quantitative data that is measurable without being influenced by a person's opinion.
Subjective data is qualitative data collected from sensory information and / or a person's personal opinion.
More information can be found here.

Based on this, describe to me what you will be measuring in your experiment and whether you think it is objective v. subjective.

Good luck!
