Hypothesis


Hypothesis
My hypothesis is that eating before swimming will effect your speed. I believe this to be true because when you swim or exercise, your body burns energy faster so you will become more slow when it runs out.

Planning my fair test
I am to find out if eating before swimming will effect your speed.
The one thing I am going to change is the type of food that each person is going to eat each swim.
The food I am going to use is
-A piece of bread with butter and a bag of chips
-A banana, almonds and some water
The things I am going to keep the same are;
-The pool
-The lengths (2)
-The amount of time in the water
-The amount of time in the water

Experiment procedure
Equipment needed
-6 people
-1 pool
-3 stopwatch’s
-1 bag of chips
-A piece of butter
-Butter
-Almonds
-Banana
-Water bottle

I am going to be performing my experiment once.
I am going to measure the results by there times.

Instructions
1. Get food
2. Get people ready to swim there first 2 laps (control)
3. Time them
4. Get their food ready
5. Wait 10 minutes for there energy to boost back up again
6. Get them to eat the food they have been asked to eat
7. Get them to swim there second set of laps
8. Time them
