My project is about how colors can affect a person’s mood and feelings. I chose this project because I wanted to understand if colors we see every day can change how we feel. My results showed that certain colors helped people feel calmer and happier, while others had less effect. This project is important because colors are used in schools, homes, and hospitals, and they can affect people’s emotions without them noticing.

Great job on designing a clear and well‑controlled experiment! Your results were explained thoughtfully, and you did an excellent job connecting your findings to real‑life applications. I especially liked how you reflected on limitations and suggested smart ideas for future research. Well done!”
This project explores an interesting question about how different colors may affect mood and heart rate. The experiment is well organized, includes a control condition, and does a good job connecting color exposure to both emotional and physical responses. The student also presented clear tables and summarized patterns in a thoughtful way, especially the finding that cooler colors appeared to improve mood while lowering heart rate. Overall, this is a thoughtful project with a strong connection to human behavior and wellness.
