How does the temperature of the room affect the test scores of students?

# data[].attributes.body
The 15 math classrooms at Boulder Creek High School and the 450 students in those classrooms.

We asked freshmen-senior math teachers to be a part of our experiment and we had them adjust the temperatures accordingly. Some had colder classrooms. Some had warmer classrooms and others had their classrooms at room temperature. The teachers get free pizza from Barros for lunch for a week for participating in our study.

# data[].attributes.body
Five classrooms have a temperature of 60 degrees. Five other classrooms have a temperature of 74 degrees. The other five classrooms have a temperature of 88 degrees.

There is a mix of gen ed classes, honors and AP/ dual courses. We randomized the teachers in alphabetical order by last name and then from that the first teacher will get a hot room, the second will get a cold room, the third will get a room temperature room and so on.

The control group would be the students taking their tests in a room temperature classroom because that’s what they’re used to.

The students are blind in this study because they’re taking their tests and don’t know that the temperatures are different in the other classrooms.

In this type of experiment each teacher will go through each different temperature while giving their students tests. This will be beneficial because we will be able to tell how accurate the results are based on the temperatures of the room.

The Margin of Error is 4.7% and the sample size is 15 classrooms and 450 students.

We go to another high school and randomize 15 math teachers and give them the same experiment to give to their students. This will allow our data to solidify if test scores are a result of the temperature of the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
It’s statistically significant because the three different experiments all resulted in the test averages in the room temperature classrooms being higher than those in the other two classrooms.

After conducting this experiment 3 times, we can confidently say that students perform better on test when taking them in a room temperature class room that is 74 Degrees. The students lives were changed because now the teachers can put their rooms to that temperature during the test and the students can feel better while taking it. Money was lost on this experiment because there was nothing to gain for the people performing it. This experiment was done to help the students and to find out how the students can perform better.
