__Affects of Color on Blood Pressure__

**Problem -** Does Color affect a person's blood pressure? **Procedure:** **Materials:** -5 girls and 5 boys around 18 -5 girls and 5 boys around 40 -Blue -Green -Red -Black -Yellow -Cuff -Bulb - Eckerd Digital Blood Pressure Monitor **Table 1** **Table2**
 * Hypothesis - **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> If a person views a color for a certain time period then, it will affect their blood pressure because the person has made an association with the color.
 * 1) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gather all materials
 * 2) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Have person sit down, on the chair
 * 3) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Place the cuff an inch above their elbow(on either arm)
 * 4) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The person should straight up, with their feet on the ground, not talk, and relax
 * 5) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Start the automatic blood pressure reader
 * 6) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then, pump the cuff up to 180
 * 7) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Wait, until it is done and gives you the results[[image:BPM align="right"]]
 * 8) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Record the results
 * 9) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Wait 15 minutes then, display a color for 1 minute
 * 10) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Have the person look at the color and think about the color
 * 11) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After 1 minute has passed, take their blood pressure(using steps 2 -7 above), while the person is still viewing the color
 * 12) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Repeat Steps using all the different colors

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">11/09/11 - Researched for Literature review <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">11/11/11- Wrote literature review <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">10/24/11 - Wrote question hypothesis and procedure <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">10/25/11 - Wrote materials and made charts. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">11/14/11 - I asked Mrs.Wilson about science fair to see how many people would be appropriate. She responded by saying 20 people, 10 in each age group and have each person count as a trial. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">11/16/11 - First, I asked Mrs.Wilson for a pass to a study hall so i could take some student blood pressures there. Then, I changed materials from 4 people to 20 people and changed the tables to match it. Also changed materials from displaying colors on laptop to <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">construction paper.I changed the procedure by deleting step 12 to repeat each color and display it for 2 minutes, plus to changed 30 seconds to a minute in the procedure a received colored construction paper from my mom for the colors. Also added timer to material list. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">11/17/11- I went to a study hall and tested two girl students, I wrote the data on notebook paper. When I got home I tested a student boy and also recorded that on notebook paper. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">11/19/11- I tested a adult male and female, and recorded the data on a separate piece of paper. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">11/21/11- I placed all the data that was recorded on paper and wrote it in the charts. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">11/24/1- I tested an two adult females and two adult males. I placed the results on paper. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">12/09/11 - I tested two student males and a student female during lunch and recorded blood pressures on paper. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">12/18/11 - I tested two student females and recorded their results on paper. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">12/19/11 - I tested an adult female and placed the results on paper. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">12/21/11 - I figured out the earlier dates for science fair logbook. After that I made a consent form and printed out 10 copies(1/2 page is full consent form). Then I upload all the information and data I recorded on paper. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">12/24/11 -I tested two student boys, two adult males and an adult female, then I recorded on notebook paper. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">01/01/12 - I placed all new data in the tables. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">01/04/12 - I averaged my data to find the boy, girls and groups averages. Then i changed the average charts, so the column 'color averages' was deleted. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">01/05/12 - I started to write the abstract. I found any students that I tested who go to the school and got them to sign their consent forms. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">01/07/12 - I added a little more to the abstract and got some of the adults to sign their consent forms. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">01/08/12 - I got the rest of the adults and students to sign their consent forms and finished the abstract. I added step 6 to the procedure and added more details to the materials.I made graph and printed it out, also I printed out pictures. I added to the hypothesis and wrote the experimention. Next renamed the tables I made. Finally I wrote the discussion, conclusion, and the application.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Abstract** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Overall, the conclusion is colors do not effect a person's blood pressure. Displayed by the charts, only one color raised or lowered both the systolic and the diastolic numbers of everyone's overall blood pressure. The color black was shown to raise the average of everyone's blood pressure from 132 over 67 to134 over 71. In order to say colors can effectively change a person's blood pressure**,** three out of the five of the colors should change the average of all the subjects to be acknowledged. To obtain this data a person's blood pressure was recorded for the colors blue, green, red, black, yellow, and their regular blood pressure. This was done by having the subject sit down and relax with their feet on the floor, while the cuff was placed on their arm, then proceeded to inflate the cuff up to 180 by using the bulb, and waiting for the blood pressure reader to give the results. Then, wait fifteen minutes before starting another color. By doing these studies, the conclusion is colors do not effect a person's blood pressure.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Experimentation** <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Prior to this experiment the terms systolic, diastolic, and blood pressure need to be understood. Systolic is a measure of blood pressure while the heart is beating and diastolic pressure is a measure of blood pressure while the heart is relaxed, or between heartbeats. Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of arteries. The problem is if color effects your blood pressure and the hypothesis to respond to that is if a person views a color for a certain time period then, it will affect their blood pressure. The hypothesis was proven wrong shown by the average of data. The data was collected by having the person sit down upright on a chair with a back and have their feet on the ground. This is so blood can flow evenly throughout the body. The subject also needed to be relaxed and not talk, so the reading can be accurate. Then the blood pressure monitor was started and the cuff was pumped up to 180 by using the bulb. By pumping it up to around 180 it collapses your arm's major arteries. After a couple seconds the digital monitor will give you the results, these results were written down on notebook paper then later placed on charts. Then after waiting 15 minutes the arteries have returned to normal and the blood pressure can be accurately taken again. Next, a color was shown on construction paper, then a minute was counted by a timer, and then the blood pressure was recorded again. Once the all the subjects were tested I averaged different groups of them so comparisons could be made. No conclusions can be made from the data besides color does not affect a person’s blood pressure. **Discussion** <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">By reviewing the data it is shown that color does not affect a person's blood pressure. Table 3 and 4 display that no average blood pressure was changed, even though in chart 1 and 2 some individuals may have been affected by the color by having their own blood pressure raise or lower. In figure 1 and 2, two subjects are being tested, an adult female for the color black and an adult male testing<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> for the color red, they were tested by using an <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Eckerd Digital Blood Pressure Monitor shown in figure 3 <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">.The individual’s blood pressure can show that some people made an association with the color. Like red raising your blood pressure because it is associated with anger making your heart pump faster or blue lowering it because it makes you calm and relaxed the having the physical effect to make your heart pump blood slower. When the subjects in figure 1 and 2 were being tested they could have been making an association with the colors causing changes. But overall the conclusion cannot be made that color can change most people's blood pressure. At least over half of the averages should have changed in order to say color affects a person’s blood pressure. Shown by graph 1, the average of every one has no irregular numbers; all are close to each other. Showing no individual color does dramatically change blood pressure. This experiment could be improved by doing multiple trials on one person with the same color; also taking the pulse could show something too. By displaying more colors, people could have a different association because of the new color, bringing different results. Plus, the color could be shown for a longer amount of time, maybe changing both the systolic and diastolic numbers instead of only one. Error could have been made when people were not fully thinking about the color or did not try to relax. Another error could have been made if the environment was not suitable, a quiet and calm environment may bring different results then one with background noise. If the subjects were on any blood pressure medication this could have controlled the blood pressure from raising any. This is room for improvement but with the data that was collected color does not effect a person’s blood pressure. **Conclusion** In conclusion, color does not change a person's blood pressure. The hypothesis stating it would change a persons blood pressure because the person will have an association with it, is incorrect. No results can show that a persons blood pressure will most likely occur a change because a color is being shown. Maybe for some individuals because of their own life they have made an association but most people will not have this happen to them. **Application** This study could be use in the medical field. Maybe not enough change in the blood pressure to save a person from having a heart attack. But if someone feels an onset of a heart attack a loved one could feel safer by showing them a color that could help lower their blood pressure. This could be varied for individual purpose, by doing multiply colors, multiple times to see if a color could help a certain one individual.
