Stress Test

CSEF · 2015 Mammalian Biology

Audryanna Fisher · Wallace (Woodrow) Junior High School, Lake Isabella, Kern County

Overview

Objectives/Goals My objective/goal of this experiment was to see if stress can affect body temperature. I did reach that goal, but it wasn't exactly determined by myself. It was mostly determined on how the test subjects reacted to the stress test. Methods/Materials My important materials was a board, basal thermometer, stopwatch and timer, a journal to record data, and a pencil. Results My results ended well. I found that the temperatures didn't spike drastically, they went up a mere 0.1+ degrees. Although Kurt did have a spike of 2.0+ higher, I suppose it would depend on whether he or she would have high blood pressure. Conclusions/Discussion I found that my hypothesis was incorrect. Stress can and can not affect body temperature, it depends on the person you are testing.

Summary statement

My Project Summary is talking about how stress can affect body temperature drastically, or if at all.

Help received

My Grandmother ( participant ) helped me calculate my data, give me transportation, and she gave me inspiration to keep proceeding with this project.
