Science Fair Proposal


1. What is your topic? 

-Yoga
2. What is the driving problem behind your experiment and the quote by an expert to support that problem? (Expert citation must be MLA format.)

 
Citation added:
Broad, William. "The Risks and Rewards of Practicing Yoga." Npr.org. NPR Books, 7 Feb. 2012. Web. 4 Feb. 2013.

"No matter how poorly you do it or how stressed you are, you're going to get this guaranteed de-stressing, relaxing, anti-civilization effect on yoga."
My goal is to put that statement to the test.

3. What is your hypothesis? 
If a person who does not practice yoga on a regular basis begins to do a yoga routine for several minutes a day, then their heart beat will change significantly after the practice is done.

4. Write a paragraph summary of how you will perform the experiment.  Include the tools you plan on using.
I plan to devise a 10-15 min. yoga routine and have 22 people practice for several days. I will record their heartbeat before and after they conduct the exercise. Once the data is collected I will compare the data and analyze the results.

5. Behavioral/Social Science
