1. B EATS P ER M INUTE BY: Carolina E. Santiesteban Mr. Leingang per #3

2. VARIABLES MV: Different music Genre (Techno & Rock). RV: Pace of heart (BPM). CV: 3 songs for different music genre 1 min each song.

3. HYPOTHESIS As you listen to Techno & Rock then your heart will beat faster when you listen to Techno because most Artist & producers use digital equipment, that makes the beats sound more intense more then Rock.

4. BACKGROUND INFO.

6. MATERIALS Timer 3 songs for different Genre 3 testers 2 CDs (Techno & Rock) Speakers Computer

8. QUESTION How Does the different music genre (Techno & Rock) affect the pace of your heart beat (BPM)?

9. TECHNO ; Satisfaction- Benny Benassi Go insane- DJ Issac Odysee- Scarf ROCK ; Bodies- Drowning Pool Degenerates- Scary kids Scaring kids Wait & bleed- Slipknot

10. PROCEDURE

11. ABSTRACT 1.The purpose my science fair project was to prove which music genre makes your heart beat faster. Both techno & rock are known to have a very intense beat. Most artist & producers use digital equipment, for of example, typical instruments used in techno music include sequencer, sampler, keyboard, drum machine & synthesizer, Producers concentrate more on the beat then lyrics unlike rock, on the other hand have a mixture of both lyrics & beat. In my opinion rock & techno are 2 of my favorite music genres, that’s why I decided to use both techno & rock for my science fair project. 2.Before the test I believed that while listening to rock & techno your heart will beat faster when you listen to techno. 3.A) There wasn’t really any major errors, but there was a few mistakes but nothing I couldn’t fix. B) I didn’t really learn anything, my science fair project was easy, in fact I enjoyed it a lot, the reason why I enjoyed it was because I had a chance to transform music into science. C) What I could have done differently if I have the chance of re-doing it, I would change the CV.

12. CONCLUSION I thought that if you listen to techno & rock, then your heart will beat faster when you listen to techno. My result showed that my hypothesis was correct. I can prove this because when 1 of my tester listen to techno the highest score was 75 beats (1min.) & when the tester listened to rock the pace of the person heart decreased by 16 beats. This supports my original hypothesis.
