Blog 9: Working EQ adn Possible Answers
(1) What was the working EQ you used during your presentation?
What is the most important benefit from practicing yoga?
(2) Did you decide to revise your working EQ after your presentation? If so, write your revised EQ here. If not simple write "I am not going to revise my EQ at this time".
I am not going to revise my EQ at this time.
(3) What are possible answers to your current working EQ?
1) Mental Relaxation. When you practice yoga on with complete focus, one tends to feel relaxed at the end of the session after the decompression/cool-down poses. This results on a mental state that the student thinks clearer and their mood is better.
2) Physical toning. Yoga provides good physical exercise and helps keep the heart healthy. It can tone many parts of the body and improves flexibility.

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

Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Approval
Content:
1) I plan to take regular yoga classes at the 24 hr fitness near my house. Each class may have a different instructor so as a result I wouldn't be practicing just one type of yoga. I would be practicing multiple from multiple teacher's experience.
2) I think if I head over to the gym to take classes 3 times a week for a period of 2 months then that should be sufficient to meet the 30 hour minimum.
3) This relates to my working eq because I'm focusing more on the health aspect of yoga, and the best way to learn something is to do something.
