Social experiment

Task

Clarify and predict the title of the video we will watch today: Social Experiment

Watch this video

Social means people interacting with other people and having a good time. Experiment means testing a theory and finding information to back up that theory. I guess that this video could be about someone going around and doing a survey and then making those results into a graph.

Write up this video using the Science Process.

Aim

To find out how people react to anonymous comments. √

Hypothesis

I think that people will react nicely to nice comments but badly to bad comments. √

Equipment & Method

A speaker

A person who speaks

Some random people
( passers-by) √

1. Place the speaker on the side walk.
2. When someone walks past the speaker say either a compliment or an insult.
3. Do this for about half an hour and see how people react. √

Results (make these up)

Most of the people who received bad comments reacted really badly and it looked like they were really angry but with the nice comments it looked like that had brightened up their day. √

Conclusion

It doesn't matter if you can see the person or not they still react the same. √

Mount Everest

Imagine this is you.Describe this scene. Describe

- what you smell

- what you hear

- what you  see

- how you feel

I feel cold and tired, I guess these are the downsides of climbing Mount Everest. I am now looking at the summit of this amazing mountain. It has been challenging but I love it and that is why I am doing this. All I can smell is cold air, all I can see  is the peak of this amazing mountain and I can hear some other people coming up behind me, They must of gotten an early start compared to me.  Its seven o’clock and I am hungry so I look through my bag and I find some porridge, So I cook that and that gives me an amazing boost so now I am ready for a days climbing.
