realisation: srp is due in like 2 weeks.
oh
my
god
AAAAAADFLKJALKREJGA.LSDJF;ASLDKLJHSRGKHDKGJHFJGH. OKAY. I AM GOING TO WORK ON THIS THING LIKE IVE NEVER WORKED BEFORE IN MY LIFE. srp you have ruined my life.
okay so igotta print out permission notes, hand them out like in person or via email and then get people to do stuff using the beam at school during lunch. alrighty...
im going to test myself first and i will post my results up in my next blog... GAAAAH must we have 30 subjects??
SO SRP, THAT IS ALL FOR NOW. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REMIND YOU THAT I NEVER WISH TO SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN AFTER THIS TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. that's right. im breaking up with you. snap.
LOL JK i could never leave you my darling srp...

you know what i should be doing right now? studying for a mr marussich science test for tomorrow. BUT NO. it is 7:30 and i still do not know wth the "retrograde motion of mars" is. the things i do for you srp...
OK SO APPARENTLY we have to have our method by this second blog submission... is it okay if im kinda still using the method i wrote for the first blog submission? I DONT KNOW. WHY AM I TALKING TO MYSELF.
ima just tweak it a bit and add some stuff in :)
Aim: To observe how much sight affects a person's ability to balance
Hypothesis: A person with an obstructed sense of sight will find it more difficult to balance as opposed to a person who has clear sight.
Equipment: heavy blindfold, eye patch, 30 subjects (with varying abilities to balance eg. ballet dancers and unco people), low stool, timer, low beam/plank of wood
Method:
1. Find a flat-surfaced area to conduct the experiment.
2. Get the subject to stand in the tree position and time how long they can stay in that position.
3. Blindfold the subject and repeat step 2.
4. Remove the blindfold and place an eyepatch over the subject's right eye and repeat step 2.
5. Place eyepatch over the subject's left eye and repeat step 2.
4. Record results, noting whether they may be better at balancing naturally (eg ballet dancer)
5. Repeat steps 2 - 4, except instead of the tree position, have the subject balance on one leg on a low stool.
6. Get the subject to walk across the low beam/plank of wood and time how long it takes them to reach the end and how many times they fall off.
7. Place an eyepatch over the subject's right eye and repeat step 6
8. Place an eyepatch over the subject's left eye and repeat step 6
9. Repeat all steps with other subjects
now to hunt down some humans to be my subjects [insert thunder, lightning and mad-scientist laugh here]

kickass was awesome
am i allowed to say that word which is a synonym of "backside" in this blog... ANYWAYS so wow this is my 5th blog. I AM ON A ROLL. "active blogger" status here i come...
so I've got approval from Miss Zhang to do this experiement but im seriously worried that in the end, it's all gonna go wrong and my results will be all messed up and stuff. and then i'll fail the SC and then i'll become a hobo and die D:
OKAAY POINT OF THIS BLOG: RESEARCH.
this site was pretty useful: http://www.lookupinfo.org/index.php?id=248 but it's got a lot of info so i'll do a little summary here:
people with monocular vision (vision in one eye) have
•difficulties working out where things are in relation to one another
•problems going up and down stairs
•difficulty with steps, kerbs, rocks, uneven ground and changes in floor level and escalators
•clumsiness
•problems with most sports
•problems with depth perception
•can't see three dimensional images - things may seem ‘flat’
•problems judging distance at less than about a metre
ok so this means i should see some different results between balancing with two eyes open and balancing with one eye open... phew good. Also maybe i wont just have people balance in a stationery position. Maybe walk across a LOW beam with one eye patched. i think i said previously i wouldn't do that, but my aim kinda change a tinsy bit so yah...
and there's also this site http://www.sightandhearing.org/news/healthissue/archive/hi_1003.asp which just has some background information, mainly for me to work with but thought i'd chuck it in here anyway
The balance system works with the visual and skeletal systems (the muscles and joints and their sensors) to maintain orientation or balance. For example, visual signals are sent to the brain about the body's position in relation to its surroundings. These signals are processed by the brain, and compared to information from the vestibular and the skeletal systems. An example of interaction between the visual and vestibular systems(vestibular-ocular reflex) is the nystagmus (an involuntary rhythmic eye movement) that occurs when a person is spun around and then suddenly stops.
EXCITING STUFF.
will blog soon with my new and improved method. Have been hardcore googling (cause i'm so cool) but can't find an experiment to kinda compare mine to... which is worrying cause i don't have anything to refer to for ideas and stuff. OH WELL. I AM AN INDEPENDENT YOUNG WOMAN. I CAN DO THIS.
yeah no.

Long time no see...
oh wow it's been a long time... i had to try like 5 different passwords to get into this before realising i typed my email with a full stop instead of an underscore. well then, i obviously need sleep... AND DOING THIS CLIMATE GRAPH ISNT HELPING MISS ZHANG. im joking :) i love climate graphs :)
and that, for anyone other than ms zhang reading this (so no one?), is how you get extra marks for science blogging (H) i joke...
if only i had a dollar for everytime i ctrl+c-ed and ctrl+v-ed today... ANYWAYS WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I GIVE YOU MY AWESOME CLIMATE GRAPH:
t'is a masterpiece is it not? pfftph photoshop? who needs photoshop when you have paint?
ANYWAYS I HAVE OTHER SCHOOL RELATED THINGS TO DO CAUSE IM A GOOD GIRL. so stay tuned for the next thrilling, exciting and absolutely riveting science blog by moi...
