After working on my 20 time project for a good amount of time already, I have learned many things about my subject. Since I am creating an experiment, I need to first gather information. I have already gathered enough information about my topic to understand what is going on. Since I am working on sleep and memory, I learned about the different sleep patterns and various beneficial ways to study and memorize concepts and words. Through the course of this project, I have learned many things about myself. Over the course of this project, I have learned that I work very productively in the amount of time in class. The classroom is silent which causes me to focus clearly on the task I am working on. Also, I have learned how creative I can be to solve various problems.
Through this project, there have been many setbacks and things that hold me back from my desired goal. The first setback I encountered is that I need to find the words, concepts, or diagrams I need to give to the people performing my experiment. Recently, I have been using random word simulators to form random words. Now, I have been moving into grasping concepts from biology. For example, this can be things we learned about evolution and photosynthesis. After I gather enough of these, I can move onto creating diagrams. These diagrams can also be from my biology vodcasts or even be other geographical maps. The main setback that has be pulling me back the most is that I need to spend a lot of time finding things for my experimental people to study and memorize. In the next class, I plan to handle this setback by gathering various things to study from my biology notebook and going online to finds various concepts and diagrams to study.
My next step in my 20 Time project would be to finding a lot of people that want to perform my experiment. Since I have finished gathering information, forming a hypothesis, and forming an experiment, I can now run my experiment. To run my experiment, I will need people to run my experiment. I can do this by asking my friends to do it. I will give them my procedures and once they finish, they can both tell me their results as well as any advice so I can run the experiment smoother.
Once I form a conclusion about the hypothesis I made, I can see what makes sense. If my hypothesis is correct about sleeping and taking a naps, then I can apply this studying habit into my own ways of studying. If this experiment proves to be beneficial, I can use this way to study during a big test or even during finals week. I can also tell my friends and peers about this and they can study more effectively.
