Problem
Design an experiment that uses color to modify human behavior.
I. Understand the Problem
(a) Discuss how the graph of wavelengths versus eye sensitivity relates to this problem.
Answer:
(b) Write down a hypothesis for this problem.
Answer:
II. Devise a Plan
(c) Identify some possible strategies to test your hypothesis.
Answer:
(d) Are all strategies that you listed in step (c) equally viable? Might any of them yield a solution to the problem more readily than others? If so, why?
Answer:
(e) In addition to the graphs given in this Thought Project, are there any additional data that would be useful or necessary to solve this problem using your strategy?
Answer:
(f) If you answered yes to the question in step (e), what are some possible sources for this data?
Answer:
(g) For assistance in testing your hypothesis, do you feel that the data given in the graphs could be displayed more effectively? In other words, would a bar chart, pie chart, or other form of display be a better way to graph this data?
Answer:
III. Look Back
(h) Discuss your opinion of graphing as a problem solving tool. When can it be used as an effective tool?
Answer:
(i) Discuss the outcome that you think would result if our problem solving technique were applied to the problem to this Thought Project.
Answer:
Hints:
Think about this:
1. How can various colors affect the person’s behavior (some examples are: the attention span, the mood, the level of distraction, the aggressiveness, etc.)?
2. What is a hypothesis? You might want to research the Net for the definition of this term and some explanation.
