Purpose and Hypothesis  Purpose- The reason I am doing this project is to determine who has a better memory- boys or girls.  Hypothesis- I think that girls will have a better memory than boys because if we see a pair of shoes we will remember the details.

The materials  Cross necklace  Picture of a girl  Blue marker  Blue mechanical pencil  Brittney's monkey  Pink stretchy bracelet  Elmer's glue stick  Water bomb  Multicolored ball  Piece of paper  Blue pen  Rubber band  Chance ticket  Blue glass heart  Paper clip  Chap stick  Remote  Mint  Quarter  Penny  Smarties  Clover  Eraser  Scissors  Beach ball  Push pen

Procedure  1. Gather all materials.  2. place the box under projector.  3. have 12 boys and 12 girls look at the objects for 1 minute.  4. take 12 things out of the box.  5. put the picture back on the smart board.  6.give the students a piece white paper to have them guess what items were missing.  7. repeat steps 2-6 two more time with different objects.

Conclusion  Our hypothesis was correct about girls would have a better memory  We saw that girls won all three times. In the 1 st trial the girls were up in the 70’s while the boys were in the 40’s.  The 2 nd trial the girls were still in the 70’s while the boys were in the 40’s still.  Then the 3 rd trial the girls were in the 50’s and boys still in the 40’s.

Conclusion  I think the girls won because boys get in trouble a lot and move their names more often than girls.

Acknowledgements  We would like to thank Mrs. Larsen and our moms for letting us do this and for the supplies.
