Science Fair Proposal

1. What is your hypothesis?

If a teenager is subject to peer pressure, then they will most likely engage in harmful activities.

2. Identify the dependent (produced), independent (manipulated) and control variables in your hypothesis.

Dependent: Teens that asosiate themselfs with drugs, theft, or people who are having sex

Independendent: Peer Pressure

Control: End up following their steps

3. What is the connection between your science fair project and your senior project EQ?

EQ : " What is a best way to become a successful Child Psychologist for teens who are going through peer pressure?"

My EQ is to try to find out what i need to help teens that go through peer pressure. My Science Fair project will then let me see if it really does depend on who they spend most of their time with in order for them to fall into the wrong path.

4. How will you perform the experiment? Include the equipment you plan on using.
How will you perform the experiment? Include the equipment you plan on using.
I will create a survey, ask 100 random teenagers to take it, compile the answers in a neat data table, then use a chi squared (X^2) test analyze the data for significance.
I made a suvay with the following questions :

1. Male/ Female

2. How old are you?

3. Have you taken illegal drugs (marijuana, alcohol, cocaine, etc...) in the past 6 months?

• yes/no

4. If you answered YES for the above question, was it because...

• You were having a hard time dealing with personal problems
• Peer pressure
• you were "in the moment" with friends

5. have you had sex in the past 6 months?

• yes / no

6.If you answered YES for the above question, was it because...

• of love
• Peer pressure
• in the moment with a partner 

5. Which category will your project be listed under? (For a full list of categories, go to the iPoly Physics webpage, then to the Science Fair tab.)
