Run Abbie RUN!

Abbie has noticed that her energy level goes down when she listens to mellow music while she runs colony farms, and her energy level goes up when she is listening to upbeat-pump up music. So she decided to test it out by running the colony farms 3 times with a mellow playlist and 3 times with a upbeat- pumped up playlist. She got the same amount of sleep over the 6 days, along with the same diet. Her average time for the first 3 runs ( mellow music) was 31 minutes and 36 seconds. Her average time for the last 3 runs ( upbeat pumped-up music) was 27 minutes and 16.5 seconds.

1.) What is the initial observation/ problem ? Abbie’s energy is going up and down during her runs

2.)What is the independent variable ? The music

3.)What is the depended variable ? Her energy level 

4.)What conclusion should be made about her investigation ? The music does effect her energy level during the run. She should use upbeat pumped-up music and not mellow. 

5.)How could Abbie’s experiment be improved ? She could always have done it even more times, she could have used certain artists music, she could have drank the same amount of water before the runs, she could have made sure the weather was the same and that she wore the same clothing as well.
