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]
