Question: What happens to a person's pulse rate when they are affected by a strong emotion?

Hypothesis: If a person is affected by fear then their pulse rate increases more than other strong emotions.

Science Fair Materials: 3 slide shows displaying 3 different emotions A pulse oximeter A group of people (10 girls, 10 boys ages 12-19) A chart (with the people, their regular pulse rate,and the pulse rate for each emotion)

Procedure: 1. Make the forms, charts. Sign-up sheets, and slide shows/videos that will display different emotions. They shouldn't be over 6 minutes long. The different emotions should contain the most powerful emotions such as sadness, anger, happy, and fear. 2. First measure the average pulse rate for each individual for 5 minutes for 3 days. 3. Let each individual watch each slide show, and measure their pulse rate. Record the data for each person in a chart. Make sure each person has watched each video. 4. Compare the data to see how the pulse rate changes. 5. Make a graph displaying the changes of pulse rate for each emotion or for each person.

11/2/10 Today I made the sign-up sheet for all the people who will be participating in the science experiment. Tomorrow I will be asking people to sign-up. Also tomorrow, I will be talking to different teachers to see whether or not I will be able to use their room, and I will also be asking different people that have pulse ox machines if i can use them.The goal is to start testing average pulses by friday. Another goal is to find someones computer that I can use to make these videos, I might try animoto. Or I will talk to people who make youtube videos or work for the morning announcements. Hopefully all goes well.

11/5/10 Today I had everyone sign up for the experiment. Also Monday there are plans to start making the videos and to turn in all forms due. I was able to get an agreement from a teacher to use their room during lunch. Now I am currently working on how the schedule is going to work. The following is who signed up, their age, and their grade.

The time scheduling so far:

11/7/10 Today I am filling out all the information on the forms that I will be turning in tomorrow. I tweaked my procedure just a tad, as well. Also I am making plans for meeting with certain people that will contribute to my project.

11/8/10 Today I turned in the forms for science fair. I also talked to the nurse about using their pulse ox machine, but they have rejected me using it for my project. This is understandable because of how expensive pulse ox machines are. So I will be only using one pulse ox machine. Also I talked to the owner of the computer I am going to be using, and she has told me I can come to her house tomorrow (the 9th) to work on all the videos. I am going to make the charts so I can take record the pulses.

11/9/10 I redid the schedule for the people to sign up for the times they want.

Later that night: I just finished helping make the videos. I changed anger to love because anger was a hard thing to influence within a group of different people. The videos are now on my flashdrive, and just in case on Lea Owrutsky's youtube account.

11/10/10 I started taking peoples pulses just for the averages today. I am surprised by how many people have been on time and early. This is going very well. I have filled in the results I have taken so far in the chart above. Also today I figured out how I am going to be able to use computers for this project. I am very pleased of how well this is going this year. I also changed out Malik with CJ Weigle because I could not get ahold of Malik. I have changed the chart and the sign up sheet to now say CJ.

11/11/10 I just finished gathering all the information for the people who signed up for today. Also I have places for getting people to sign up for trial 2 tomorrow morning. All is going well so far in this experiment.

11/12/10 Amber Romano and CJ Weigle did not show up at their scheduled time today, so instead I took Ben's pulse. Tomorrow morning I am taking CJ Weigles pulse during homeroom, and hopefully Amber can come to my homeroom as well.

11/17/10 I have been absent for the past two days, so I am currently playing catch up. I only have a few more people to go before I have all my trial 2s done. Then I will have to do trial 3, average everything, Then I have to start the videos.

11/18/10 I have caught up for the most part, so I am restarting the schedule. I found some of the averages already. I still need to make arrangements for people that are far behind.

11/19/10 Today I am starting the happy videos during lunch. Also everyone, except for CJ, is done with the first 3 trials. I have calculated the averages, and submitted them into the chart. Overall everything is moving along smoothly. I was able to get a laptop from Mr.FIsher, so I can now play the videos just fine.

11/22/10 The videos didn't work today which was a bust. So I have decided to postpone science fair until after Thanks Giving break.

12/20/10 I have been too busy with various things to do my project during lunch. I am restarting my project tomorrow. I also deleted the love emotion because it is hard to influence among people. Also I have made my schedule for tomorrow and wednesday.

1/2/11
So I realized my schedules dont all line up, but everyone is getting done. I can't help that some people are no shows, and other days they come. But here's the new schedule.

Tuesday January 4th I am in hurry mode. I checked the schedule, and everything should just get done before the due date. I have noticed all the emotions are a higher number than the actual averages of those people. So I have start to come to the conclusion that my hypothesis was correct.

Thursday January 6th I am almost completely finished. I have done people in the morning, during lunch, and tomorrow I will after school and during lunch. For the most part the scary video hasn't affected too many people, but I am the same way. Its apparently hard to inflict fear because different people fear different things.
