Title: An investigation into the impact of group pressure on an individual’s estimate of the amount of beads in a pot (ginger granules in a jar). IV = Group/Individual DV = Individual beads estimate Abstract This experiment investigated the impact of group pressure on the individual. The hypothesis is that group pressure does indeed impact on the individual and in this case the individual’s estimate of the number of ginger granules in a jar.

This lesson was about experimenting with Forces and motion. After inquiry 4.1 and 4.2‚ it was best to graph the data to see the differences. Inquiry 1 was used to find out the force needed to move a wooden block over different surfaces. The different surfaces that were used were the Tabletop‚ Waxed paper‚ Paper towel‚ Fine sandpaper‚ and Coarse sandpaper. A spring scale was used to measure the amount of force using the unit Newtons(N). After 3 trials to get one number averaging was necessary. Same
