Using the Web and Print Sources For Science Fair Research

To write a hypothesis for your experiment you need to Think what a likely outcome might be for the experiment Do research to explain the “because,” a reason why that outcome might happen

But, be open to an unexpected result. Think of many possible outcomes for the experiment. If boys and girls take selfie pictures, then… 1.Girls will smile more than boys 2.Boys will smile more than girls. 3.Both boys and girls will smile the same.

Identify all the words/phrases that you can research to help predict the outcome gender differences In the brain In attitudes In interests In physical activities In relationships smile Definition Why people smile Muscles involved Fake smile

Don’t forget about researching… Selfie What is a selfie Why do people take selfies? What do selfies communicate to others?

And, of course… Cell phone camera What is a cell phone? How does the camera work? Why take cell phone pictures?

Brown Publishing, 1 Sept Web. 25 Oct < bpc.com/publication/?i= #{"issue_id":216717,“ page":6} Use World Book Citation Builder and fill in information.

Read the article carefully and paraphrase to take notes. Give enough detail to describe the function, purpose, and use of each important term of the experiment. Facts: “Self portraits – typically taken with cell phone cameras and posted online.” Lev Manovich, a professor in New York, did a study on selfies. Studied 3200 selfies posted on Instagram People smile more in Bangkok and least in Moscow Average person posting about 24
