who will stay there till they yawn.

My experiment for "Toast always lands butter side down" is to do a group experiments. One group will have 1/2 fat free butter. Another will have fat free butter, and another will have just regular butter. Then you group the toast till each toast has not landed butter side down.

My experiment for toast always lands butter side down was to randomly select a group of people and have them drop the toast that I would have buttered. they would each drop ten pieces of toast and I would record the results.

For the toast experiment I would drop 10 pieces of bread and keep track if they land top or bottom up from a given height. Then do the same thing with 10 pieces of bread that have 1/2 butter spread on one side, and keep track on which side lands up. Compare the results and come up with a conclusion.

My experiment for Toast landing butter side down would be to get 20 slices of bread and every slice would be buttered with different amounts of butter. I would then take those buttered bread to drop them from the same height and then track how many landed butter side down and how many landed with out the butter side.

For the toast experiment you need 30 slices of toast with butter on one side. Have the toast on a table and slide it off like it would if you accidentally hit it off the table. This is the most realistic way that toast will fall. Record the data.

My experiment for toast always butter side down is to toast a piece of white bread and set it on a paper plate. I would butter the toast with 1 teaspoon of regular butter. Then i would move the plate to where half of the plate is hanging over the counter. Then i would drop a fork from above the plate on to the edge of the plate that is off the counter. This should make the flip causing the toast to fall on the ground. Each time record which side ( buttered or non-buttered) hits the ground. Repeat 20 times. Look at the recorded data and then make your conclusion.

as many times as needed and it would be easy to collect data and make a decision based on the data you

collected to make your final conclusion.

My experiment for toast always lands butter side down would be to have 100 pieces of toast with 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Each piece will be held vertically 10 feet off the ground. Drop each piece one at a time and record which side it lands on.

My experiment for the toast experiment was to take 30 pieces of toast, add butter to one side, and then drop the toast from a height of 3 feet. You then record the results and come up with a conclusion stating if butter actually does land butter side down more.    

bring the test subjects into a plain room and provide 30 chairs for everyone. I would also make

sure that the room has a video camera in it so you could watch the people inside. I would then wait

until I see the first person yawning and once you see the first person yawn you can then observe everybody

else for 30 minutes and count how many times everybody yawns. Then I would repeat the 30 minutes 5 different

times while restarting the yawn count at the beginning of each new 30 minutes.

My experiment for Toast would be to take a piece of white bread and set it on a paper plate. Then I would butter

the toast with one teaspoon of regular butter. I would move the plate so that half of it is hanging off the counter.

I would then drop a fork a foot above the plate onto the edge of the paper plate that's off the counter.

This should make the plate flip causing the toast to flip on the ground . I would do tis 100 times and record the results. ,

 Have everyone be in the same roon, next you will wait until someone yawns

and after a couple minutes make your observations.  You just repeat this step

 multiple times to see how consistant your data is.

My experiment for Toast was to make the pieces of toast and then butter them. 

 Flip them in the air and see if they land butter side down or up.  Repeat this step

multiple times to figure out if your data is consistant.

My experiment is to separate the population into four stratus.

Strata 1: 0-7 hours of sleep in low key environment

Strata 2: 8+ hours of sleep in low key environment

Strata 3: 0-7 hours of sleep in an active environment

Strata 4: 8+ hours of sleep in active environment 

We would observe and count the number of how many yawns there are in each environment and how they contrast to other stratus. For each environment we will video tape and write down the observations for 3 hours.

-combine group 1 and 3 together and record observations

-combine group 2 and 4 together and record observations

*From this we can draw conclusions from data and conclude if it depends on the number of sleep and environment as well

-Use white bread and apply 1/2 oz of butter to the toast till it is equally spread and melted. Do this to 3 loaves.

-Design a catapault or machine that will spring the toast into the air at the same speed each time

-Record the trial results of which side of each bread landed

-From this draw a conclusion based on the results and see if the butter has an impact on which side the butter side lands.

finds a randon sample out of the population.  Also the way she is studying

the people to see if they yawn after the videos is a very good idea.  Her toast

experiment is also is great because it has a lot of trials that would make the data most consistant.

These kids will then be placed in a classroom for one hour exactly. 

These students will be sat in a circle until the hour is over. They will be monitored to see if any yawning occurs and to see if it occurs one after another.

For the Toast experiment, there will be two pieces of buttered toast. One piece will be dropped from a high building while the other will be dropped from a

school desk. This is to see if height makes a difference to the toast landing on the buttered side since a higher positioning will give the toast more time to flip.  

This will be done 10 times to record data.

For the Toast experiment, for the control, there would be 20 pieces of toast, unbuttered but marked, and would drop off a high building to see if the bread prefers one side. For the 2nd experiment, the 20 pieces are buttered on one side and dropped off the building. If the toast lands butter side down more than 10 times, then the theory is confirmed.  

For the toast experiment, my plan is to get 10 pieces of toast with a sliver of butter on one side. The experimenter then holds the toast sideways (perpendicular to the ground) at table height (3 ft.) and drops the toast. The experimenter will then record if the toast landed butter side up or butter side down. After recording results, the experimenter will then repeat these steps again with non-buttered toast to get a control.

For my Toast experiment, I will be dropping the bread vertically from different heights to see if the height has an affect on the way the toast lands. Start by dropping it at 5 feet and then increase to 10, 20 ext. and the results can easily be recorded into a chart.

I think that Nicole's experiments are the most thought out. I think they will be the most successful because she will gather a random sample of students and then for the toast experiment she will have enough bread to get a more accurate result

To test how toast falls, I would just use 30 identical pieces of toast with butter and push them off the side of a table (like it would actually happen). Someone else would record how it landed on the ground and then we could compare how many times it landed butter up and butter down.

for a set amount of time, record the results and repeat.

For the toast experiment you take the same type of bread and the same amount of butter on each piece and push on off the table and drop one from the same height each time, do the same number and record the results.

My experiment for "toast always lands butter side down" is to get a curtain amount of toast and butter each piece of toast with the same amount of butter spread evenly on one side. then we would get one person to 'accidently' slide the toast off of a breakfast table and then we would record the data we observe.

My experiment for toast always lands butter side down would be to have 3 people, and each person would have 50 slices of toast with the same amount of butter on them. Each person would hold one piece of toast at a time straight up and down, and each person would drop the piece of toast from the same height, and it would be recorded which side that it landed on.

it is relatively simple and straight forward. This being said, I also believe that

It would render good results as the experimental design seems effective.

It seems to me that you might be able to get results

More quickly with his experiment by having people who

Have been isolated immediately put into a boring situation

Verses a more chaotic environment.

My experiment for testing if toast fell butter down, I would toast and butter 30 pieces. Then I would slide them off the table and record how it falls. Butter up or down.

My experiment for Toast Always Lands Butter Side Down is use simple random sampling to choose different students in our class. Provide each student with 3 pieces of buttered toast. Each piece of toast should have the same amount of butter to keep results consistent. Give each student a data table, with three trials and have them record whether it lands butter side up or butter side down. Instruct students to drop the bread from desk height to floor. Have students begin with butter side up. When all students are done compare all results for your final data.

For my toast experiment I will randomly select a classroom and give every student in that class two pieces of toast; one piece will have bUtter on it, put on by me, the other piece will not. Every student has to drop the piece of toast with the crust facing the ceiling off the top of the same desk. I will record the data.

Yawing Experiment: There are 40 kids in a class start with a person in the first row/ Seat then count every fourth person to get a total of 10 people in your sample, and then face those 10 people in a circle facing each other and wait until a student yawns. Count how many yawns occur after the initial yawn for 45 minutes. Repeat the experiment with 10 different students chosen in systematic form again, but starting somewhere different. Compare Data.

Toast Experiment: Have 40 pieces of toast, one side with a tablespoon of butter evenly spread. Then lightly brush a piece off of a table, and mark witch side it lands on until all 40 pieces have been brushed off of the table. Redo the experiment multiple times.

For my toast experiments is to get 10 people to drop the toast from 4 ft. to see if it lands butter side down or if it lands up and i would buttered it. every person drops 5 toasts and write the results down.

I like Sarah's experiment for Toast Always Lands Butter Side Down. I didn't think about dropping the bread from different heights.

becasuse it gave detail but not to much to

where it would be hard to repeat the

e

My experiment for toast is to toast 20 pieces of the same type of bread, equally butter one side of all the pieces of toast. Hold the toast with two fingers 10 feet up on a ladder and release the toast, and repeat this 19 more times, record to see if the toast landed butter side up or down.

For my Toast experiment I decided to make a machine that will drop

My experiment for toast always butter side down is to toast
a piece of white bread and set it on a paper plate. 1 teaspoon of butter is
then to be applied to the toast. Then I would drop a fork from 1 foot above the
plate on to the edge of the plate that is hanging off the counter. This should
make the plate flip which in turn causes the toast to fall on the ground. Each
time record which side (buttered or non-buttered) hits the ground. Repeat 20
times. I will then analyze the recorded data and make my conclusion.

around 2:00pm. I would keep the students in the classroom for about an hour. They would all be handed the same reading book and then whoever 

yawns first i would collect the data and then see who yawns next to see if it is really contagious or not.. Then i would take a second group and repeat the same thing.

For my toast experiment i would have three people go to the top of the building with 5 pieces of toast each. Each piece of toast would have the same amount of butter on it. Then each person at different times would drop the piece of toast from the bulding and record the data of what side the toast landed on.

For my toast experiment I would take a group of 10 people into an empty classroom on the second floor and toast 5 pieces of bread for each person. I would have 1 tablespoon of butter per piece of toast. The students would drop the toast, holding it vertically, out of the window and I would record which side the toast lands on for each slice.

and clear. The data would be easy to collect and anyone else would be

able to do the experiment over again.

sit in  rooms with nothing to do. there will be 5 people in

each room with the same amount of hours of sleep the

person got the night before. then just record everyone who

yawns and if anyone else in the room yawns

my experiment for toast is to have a control group which would

is flipping  30 pieces of toast and record how many times the toast

lands top side up. then after that I would butter 30 pieces of bread

with the same amount of butter and then flip them the same exact way

and record it.my favorite design was Audrey harpen because it was like mine

have them all sit there and have a discussion about a boring topic. next

I would have one person yawn every few minutes I would write down

I see. for the second group I would have the person yawn once and not

the rest of the time.

For the toast experiment I would have one person just throw the bread into

the air and see which side it lands on. I would make sure the same person

does it each time. then I would l try different heights making sure I record all

the data.

as she was stating the experiment that she was going

to do she made sure to include all of the little details

that effect the experiment the most.

For the toast experiment, 30 slices of toast would be made, add butter to one side of each then drop the toast from 3 feet off the ground. Record the outcomes in order to determine whether it lands butter side down or up more often.

Toast - make a toast dropper that drops 20 pieces of toast at a time. Record the data. Repeat 5 times.

My experiment for toast is to have a person that doesn't know what the experiment is drop a ton of buttered toast off of a roof top and someone else record results.  

I like the yawning experiment because it is easier to see if the myth is true.

what is going on, and have them yawn. Observe and record how many times someone in the room yawns. Then have

a different group of 50 people sit in a room with no one there to plant the yawn. You can then see if yawning is indeed

contagious.

My experiment for toast would be to drop unbuttered bread on the ground 30 times and see how many times the

toast lands face down vs face up. Next, drop the buttered toast on the ground from the same height as the unbuttered

bread. Record how many times the butter side lands face down vs face up.

My yawning experiment procedures - 1) get 50 particpants lecture to them until someone yawns 2) get another 50 participants and make them stay silent until someone yawns 3) calculate how many people yawned after the first person yawned in the lectured group 4)calculate the amount of people that yawned after the first person yawned in the silent group 5) compare the results

and the variables were easy to manage. Her experiment had consistant details, which makes

it easier to repeat.

my experiment for the toast experiment I wanted to have 24 pieces of toast and have 12 with all the same amount of butter and 12 with none and drop if off of a ladder.

My yawning experiment will consist of two ten person groups. One will be put in a room for twenty minutes and another in a room for twenty minutes with a yawning person In there who will yawn once after the first ten minutes. This will use a convinience sample.

I like Peter's experiments the best because he uses a good way to sample and a control geoup.

This is a convenience sample. The study is considered blind because the test subjects do not know that they are involved in this experiment. Having two levels to each factor of my experiment will work to add complexity and thus thoroughly explore the study.
