Memory

By:Mac Thrasher

Why I did this… and Hypothesis

I am doing this project because I would like to see who is the better person at remembering. Boys, or girls? I believe that girls will remember better than boys. I think that the boys will not even be close to the girls.

Background Info.

Boys use the right side of their amygdala.

Girls use the left.Girls remember more emotional

memories like faces or conversations.Boys remember things that you see

like driving directions and pictures.

Conclusion

After researching and experimenting, I found my conclusion. It is true that girls are better than boys at remembering a combination. The girls could also dance WAY better than the boys.

Possible Causes of Error

When I was experimenting the boys. I had to wait an extra day to get them all together so I could grade them.

Time Spent:Explorer Classes and P.E
