Science Fair Proposal

1. If the human body under goes some sort of shock, then its heart rate and blood pressure will go up.
2. Dependent: Heart rate and blood pressure
Independent: The initial shock
Control: How the shock is applied
3. There isn't really a direct connection between the experiment and my topic other than the fact that my topic is boxing and my experiment has a connection with being punched in boxing.
4. I'll gather at least 22 people. I'll have them sit on a stool or chair. Then I'll hook the subject up to a sphygmomanometer and a heart rate monitor(or something like that) and tell them to relax. I'll record the "relaxed" values on the two monitors. Then I'll apply the initial shock, which is to make them almost fall backwards. Then record the "shocked" values on the monitors.
5. Physiology

Self Reflection

1. P, because I haven't really been doing anything above and beyond. I've only been doing what I've been told to do and I haven't missed any assignments.
2. I think one of the things I've done well was improving my defense in sparring, because I've been working on improving it and I've finally polished it up.
3. I would like to improve my stamina because I've only been able to last for about two minutes without being tired and that's not good enough.
