| My name is Wil Campbell and I go to Red Lake Madsen Public School in Northwestern Ontario. I enjoy playing almost every sport but I love hockey and basketball the most. Another thing I like to do is listen and play music. I do enjoy working with my hands on projects. I got the inspiration for this project by looking at my classroom and the problems we faced. I noticed that some teachers would allow us to listen to music and others wouldn't. I like music so I decided to do my project on different types of music and distractions to see which affected students the most. Further investigations for this project would be different age spans, other types of music and more distractions. Some advice I would give to other students doing science projects is to find an idea you like and make sure it is fun. That is one of the most important things because if it is not fun then you won’t expand and learn more from it. |
