Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hi I just wanted to ask for the project on if peppermints effect reaction time how many times do you do the experiment because it says it take 2-4 weeks but the experiment is only 2 days ????

Hello Courtney and welcome to Science Buddies,

You are asking a good question! Notice that the materials section of that project asks you to test 50 people (all in the same age group). So it looks like the estimated time to complete the project is allowing time for you to recruit and collect the data on all 50 people, plus a few days for you to enter their results in your lab book and analyze the results.

Hope this helps! Let us know if you have more questions!
