Eating breakfast vs. not eating breakfast before school

  • What area of interest/research question do you wish to explore through a research study design? Does eating breakfast affect a students ability to learn?
  • What variables or concepts are you looking to observe and/or manipulate? The amount of students who eat breakfast before going to school.
  • What type of design would best suit your research question? (Experimental, Correlational, etc)Experimental 
  • What research method would you use to conduct your experiment? (Survey, case study, naturalistic observation, lab experiment, etc.) naturalistic observation
  • If applicable, what would you put as your independent and dependent variables? Breakfast vs no breakfast in the morning would be independent and progress in school would be dependent.
  • Give a hypothesis about what you think you might find. I believe that students who eat breakfast will perform better in school than students who don’t. 
  • What might be the benefits and implications of this study? In other words, who would gain from it? I think students who do not eat breakfast will benefit because they will see that eating breakfast in the morning will help them do better in school?
  • Please reflect on the process of designing this experiment. What were the challenges you faced? Was this more/less difficult than you expected? How? It was more difficult because most students do not eat breakfast in the morning due to their lack of time in the morning before going to school.
