After separately recording your observations, you should compare notes to see if you recorded the same thing as your partner. In addition, you should maintain confidentiality, and explain what they are doing if asked. You and your partner will be reporting your findings Thursday in class.

Activity:  Non-academic screen time and GPA- you will be setting up an experiment and naming all the parts to determine if the amount of non-academic screen time watched can affect your GPA.  You will need to develop thesis, operationally define the experiment,  replication, population,  random sampling, correlation, causation, correlation coefficent, and scatterplots.  Then you will design an experiment that will try to determine how much a new medication for concentrating  can impact GPA by creating an experiment and all its parts. Your experiment must address the following, random assignment, double blind procedure, placebo effect, experimental group, control group, independent variable, confounding variable and dependent variable.
