1. What is your hypothesis?
If a student plays at least two games every day, then that student will improve their overall wins to losses percentage.
2. Identify the dependent (produced), independent (manipulated) and control variables in your hypothesis.
-The dependent variable in my experiment is the change in win/loss percentage from previous percentage's(chess elective data)
-The independent variable is the amount of games I make the students play.
-The control variables are the people chosen for my experiment.
-The independent variable is the amount of games I make the students play.
-The control variables are the people chosen for my experiment.
3. What is the connection between your science fair project and your senior project EQ?
My EQ is about finding the best way to play the game effectively and this science project will help me prove the best way to practice and overall increase your wins.
4. How will you perform the experiment? Include the equipment you plan on using.
1.) Construct a chart of every selected player's previous games(wins/losses) using recorded data tables from Chess elective.
2.) Group players according to their overall win percentage using the chart.
3.) Have every member of group 1 play at least 2 games a day outside of elective in order to practice. Meanwhile prohibit the other group(group 2) from playing chess outside of elective.
4.) Pair up players so that group 1 faces group 2 and have them play each other at least 5 times.
5.) Repeat Step 4 at least 2 more times to develop a more accurate result.
6.) Record the wins and determine which side has the higher win/loss percentage.

5. Which category will your project be listed under?
I will list this under Behavioral Science.
This procedure does not use the Chess elective data....How can you make an experiment using the data from the elective score sheets?
ReplyDeleteI could use the prior data to find the average win/loss ratio of every student before doing the experiment. With that information, I could group the players by their w/l ratio that would make the games less about prior experience and more about an even match, since they are a more likely to be on the same level. This would have the games be more influenced by prior preparation and practice rather than just "who is better." As for the hypothesis, I think it was too unclear so this can replace it, " If i play at least one game every day, then I will improve my overall wins to losses ratio."
