__**Science Experiment 2**__


 * Topic:** Memory

then the girls?
 * Question:** Do 8th grade Girls have better memory then 8th grade boys, or do the 8th grade boys have better memory

i think some differences exist between the two. Some people believe that girl brains have more connection between the two hemispheres than boys brains do. and that girls have a greater capacity for languge skills than boys, but boys can be better in math and other than girls. they do not mean that boys are smarter than girls, or vice-versa. But, there are some examples of scientific studies that have suggested (not proven) that girls may have better memory for emotional and verbal events, whereas boys may have better memory for spatial and non-verbal events. []
 * Background:** Brad Keele thinks boys and girls have the same memory. He says that it depends, that the memory is a very complex process that scientists are only now beginning to fully understand. And that, you have came upon an idea that boys brains are different from girls brains. That there are anatomical as well as functionall differences between boys's brains and girls' brains. During a baby's development, his or her brain will be affected by the relative amounts of hormones that are present. These hormones develop the brain, and cause it to become either a girl's brain or a boy's braind..

smarter in math also they get better grades then the boys.
 * Hypothesis:** I think that the 8th grade girls have better memory then the boys, because i think that they are


 * Procedure:**
 * 1) 5 boys and 5 girls to do this experiment
 * 2) take each person one by one to do this experiment
 * 3) have 10 math cards to do this experiment (make sure that they are the same ones your using with the other gender)
 * 4) hold each card up for 5 to 10 sec. for them to see the card
 * 5) then check off the correct numb and tell them the number or numbers they had seen
 * 6) have notes to right down if the person got it right or wrong
 * 7) When your done with all participates show them what they got right and wrong.
 * 8) Then see which gender did the best.

5 boys 10 math cards
 * Materials:** 5 girls


 * Experiment**: Do the experiment


 * Data/Results:** c=//correct// w=//wrong//


 * Cards # || 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 7 || 8 || 9 || 10 ||
 * girl 1 || c || c || w || w || w || c || c || c || c || c ||

then the girls? And my Hypothesis was that the 8th grade girls have better memory then the boys, because i thought that they are smarter in math also they get better grades then the boys, and i was wrong the boys did way better than the girls and i was actually shocked by that. i think that boy #5 was did really well and have a great memory, because even tho the movie was on and people was talking around, he got all of them right, plus he said them really fast. i think next time if i do this project i would look at the people GPA because i think thats a big part of how smart you are.
 * Conclusion:** My question was do 8th grade Girls have better memory then 8th grade boys, or do the 8th grade boys have better memory
