I have found most of the variables in this project, yet I'm still looking for some. I have the following:

• Amount of Sleep
• Correctness of the test
• What was actually consumed
• Weather
• Time Arrived at school

Does anyone know any others?

Thanks,
Alexiel

Can you tell us a little more about your project? I'm assuming you are correlating performance on a test with whether or not students ate breakfast?

Off the top of my head:
1. How much the student studied.
2. The typical grades that student gets in that subject.
3. Difficulty of test.

Hi,

Another thing you might want to consider is how much kids are eating for breakfast. For example, eating half a Pop-Tart might count as breakfast for some people, but how does that compare to eating something more filling like a bowl of oatmeal or peanut butter toast? Other than that, your variables and the ones suggested look great!


Good luck!
