Does Color Effect People’s Appetite?
by Teaira Swansey
Lincoln Elementary
Introduction
My question is,” Does color effect
people’s appetite?” I got my question from last year’s Great
Blue. I did the question because I like to
work with paper and boxes.
I thought it would be hard because I would have to change the colors
and rewrite a lot of stuff to answer my question.
Procedure
The materials I used are boxes,
paper and a pencil.
To answer my question I wrote down peoples names in my class in my notebook.
Then I went to get a box. I tested people by asking how hungry they
were on a scale of 1 to 10. One is not very hungry and ten means you’re
starving. I kept the box on their heads for three minutes. Then I took
the box off their head and asked them again how hungry they are.
I only had time to do red, blue, green and black.
Here’s my data
Results
For blue, on average kids were a 5.13 before being tested and a 6.26
after being tested. For red, on average kids were a 4.22 before being
tested and a 6.02 after being tested. For lime green, on average kids
were a 4.16 before being tested and a 2.61 after being tested. For black,
on average kids were a 4.47 before being tested and a 5.73 after being
tested.
Interpreting Results
I found out that if you have
blue walls in your house it will make you hungrier. If you have lime
green walls it will make you lose weight.
