Authors:
Mohamed, Marta, Leire and Jon.
Area:
Psychology.
Level:
1st and 2nd year secondary school.
Challenge:
Practising sport has an effect on our academic performance, but we are not sure how this effect is produced. We will test with different types of sport and the number of hours we dedicate to each one. Let’s see if it affects our maths results!
Teacher’s notes:
Research projects related to performance or memory are usually very popular with students and do not require many resources. The main difficulty lies in the size of the sample, since a considerable amount of data and a homogeneous sample is needed in order to obtain meaningful results.
