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. ]]> 2018-04-12 15:33:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nelliicoiraaa/q1bfp5w7arxz/wish/251208815 nelliicoiraaa https://padlet.com/nelliicoiraaa/q1bfp5w7arxz/wish/251213053 Five classrooms have a temperature of 60 degrees.

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. ]]> 2018-04-12 15:46:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nelliicoiraaa/q1bfp5w7arxz/wish/251216699 nelliicoiraaa https://padlet.com/nelliicoiraaa/q1bfp5w7arxz/wish/252174836 The control group would be the students taking their tests in a room temperature classroom because that’s what they’re used to. ]]> 2018-04-16 14:44:43 UTC https://padlet.com/nelliicoiraaa/q1bfp5w7arxz/wish/252174836 nelliicoiraaa https://padlet.com/nelliicoiraaa/q1bfp5w7arxz/wish/252175589 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. ]]> 2018-04-16 14:46:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nelliicoiraaa/q1bfp5w7arxz/wish/252175589 nelliicoiraaa https://padlet.com/nelliicoiraaa/q1bfp5w7arxz/wish/252176686 In this type of experiment each teacher will go through each different temperature while giving their students tests.

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. ]]> 2018-04-16 15:14:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nelliicoiraaa/q1bfp5w7arxz/wish/252191453
