Project title:
variables affecting blood pressure
Middle school
None

Hypothesis:

I believe that someone who takes care of themselves by dieting & exercising will have the best blood pressure.

Materials:

Stethoscope
spygmomenometer

The Procedure:

I put people into several groups.
2 athletes, 2 over-weight people, 2 thin people and 2 housewives, and 2 businessmen. I took their blood pressure in the morning and in the evening. I did this for a period of two weeks.

Results:

After a two week analysis of blood pressures I found that the thin person had the best blood pressure.

Comment #920: You should provide as complet

In response to the main content
Usefulness: unknown

You should provide as complete a list of materials as possible. For example, you should mention the number of people you need in the MATERIALS section. And as frivolous as it may sound, it would be good to also include writing material.

Could you also explain your results a little more? What was the variance like? And when you took the blood pressure, did you take more than 1 reading per person (for each time that you measured his/her pressure?) and average out the readings or did you just take 1 reading?
