My name is Zach Ross and I am in 11th grade. I love music and everything about it, so I spend most of my time creating or listening to it. I play electric guitar, and listen to metal and rock. My project is about finding a correlation between music and concentration. I chose this project, because music helps me block out internal and external distractions while doing homework. Because New Life had a short period of banning headphones in classes and study halls, I wanted to show that music helps students to be more porductive and focus on their assignments.
This is the Data that I gathered for my experiment. Each student did one trial with music, and one without. If I choose to continue this project, i would love to test more people with better controls once we are out of quarantine.
