1. What is your project about? If video games stress people out. 1. Why did you choose this project? To prove my parents wrong that I do not get stressed out while playing video games. 1. What was your result/ overall conclusion? That I was wrong and that I do get stressed out while playing video games. 1. Why is your project important? My project is important because it shows why and if the human body gets stressed when playing video games.
You created a fun, real-life question and turned it into a strong science experiment. Your project is well organized, and you clearly explained your variables, procedure, and vocabulary, which makes it easy to understand and repeat. It’s awesome that you collected real data from 8 subjects, used a baseline rest period, and kept the game conditions consistent for everyone (same character, kart setup, track set, and speed).
Your data analysis is also a big strength; you noticed patterns, calculated the average change, and even identified an outlier, which shows great scientific thinking. Overall, this project does a great job connecting video games to human health and behavior, and your presentation shows effort, careful planning, and good teamwork with your participants and family support.
This is a good research study especially in the modern world where kids and adults trade their rest time for a video game without knowing the effects of it on human health being a stress inhibitor. Kudos for carrying out this work. This is a great project and it is highly commendable.
Great job investigating how video games can affect stress and blood pressure. I liked how you measured blood pressure before and after playing Mario Kart and compared the results for multiple participants. Your data table and graph clearly showed the changes in blood pressure and helped support your conclusion. This project connects gaming with health science in an interesting and meaningful way.
Way to go! 🌟 Your project stood out for its creativity and effort, and it’s fantastic that you won the Main Event Family Fun Pack. Hope you celebrate your success and keep exploring science!
