Blog Assignment #9 Science Proposal

                                                          Science Project Proposal

1. If  a person seldom cooks at home, they are more likely to be obese.

Dependent variable:rate of obesity
Independent variable:cooking at home versus not cooking at home
Control: American Families in California

-This experiment will help me understand my EQ, because it is about nutrition and health concerns. Obesity is a very big health concern.

-I will collect the data by using some of the statistics sites from the ESA like the U.S. department of agriculture, NIH, and CDC.  I will then use this study to construct my experiment: http://www.nature.com/oby/journal/v19/n12/full/oby2011130a.html.  Lastly, I will use statistics to analyze the significance of my results.
