| The Pressure's On |
by Mark Potts, Joel McCreary, and Blake Stevison
Emerson Jr. High School, Enid, Oklahoma
(presented at the 1999 Earthstorm Science Fair)
All three of us are very active
in school. We thought of this project while brainstorming about projects that
deal with weather affecting something. We chose this topic because we were interested
in finding out if weather affects assault and battery.
First of all, we got information
about assault and battery from the Enid Courthouse for the year of 1997. We then
downloaded the temperature and pressure for the year of 1997. We thought of our
hypothesis. We then compared the weather to the assaults and batteries to get
our results. And last, we made our board and journal.
The humidity doesn't affect
the number of cases. The higher the temperature, the more cases there were. Weather
does affect human behavior. We would do another project because they are fun. |
