GROUP REPORT (15 pts)

Scientific Problem: How does vertigo affect someone’s ability to perform basic tasks?

Hypothesis: (2 pts) In the space below, write your group’s hypothesis for the
scientific problem in a COMPLETE SENTENCE. Then, in at least one more complete
sentence, Explain your group’s reasoning behind the hypothesis.

Procedure: (5 pts) Identify the following factors in your experiment:

 the independent variable -

 the dependent variable -
 the control group -
 the experimental group -
 the constant(s) (include a description here of how you made experimental
group members feel vertigo) -

Write the names and brief descriptions of the tasks your group performed to test
your hypothesis.

Task Name Written or Description

Physical?
Conclusion: (8 pts) (use a separate sheet of paper) Answer the following questions
in multiple PARAGRAPHS that include an introduction, support and conclusion.

Did the results of your experiment prove or disprove your hypothesis?

Support your answer with specific data from at least 3 different tasks.

Consider the results of your experiment and write a follow-up question about
vertigo or equilibrium that you could investigate with a new experiment. Make sure
to explain why this new question is important or relevant to phenomena observed
during your first experiment.

EXTRA CREDIT:
Investigate equilibrium and vertigo. Write a short paragraph to explain each of the
following questions. Make sure to share what sources you used to find the
information

What body parts/systems are responsible for maintaining equilibrium? Explain.

How does spinning cause vertigo? Explain.

APPENDIX: Attach your experimental design document, data tables, written tasks,
and any other data collected during the experiment to this page.
