Science Question and Hypothesis

During last Term, we have been learning about Science and the teachers have been running workshops on different areas like the hypothesis and method & materials. We also had to go to a certain area one or two times within the Term.

From what we have learnt in the Term, we now had to create our own science projects from the Question onward's. I had chosen to do a project with Charlotte because we were aloud to go in pairs this year. Charlotte and I struggled to find a projects that suits both of us. So we came to our teacher with our problem and then our teacher came up with the idea of doing a science project about laughing because we laugh a lot. So we all searched up laughing topics and it came up with this picture of a monkey so of course we both started laughing. so our teacher helped us to create our Question. " The laughter of which age group is the most contagious?"

To elaborate on this question we had to research and find out more about contagious laughing. My partner and I weren't that sure about the topic so we researched and found that the human brains react better to positive sounds such as laughter and triumph rather then negative sounds like screaming and retching. After we had found this out, we realised that the younger people have higher pitched voices, so we created our Hypothesis. " The younger the age of the person laughing, the more contagious it will be because the younger you are, the higher pitched sounds you make." I have enjoyed researching about this topic and I can't wait to go further on this topic. 

Have you ever done a science project? If so, what was the topic about?
