How Different Types of Music Affect the Aspects of a Student's Circulatory System Which Then Impacts Accuracy When Doing Mathematical Tasks

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Instrumental music=less distracting

BACKGROUND INFO CONT.

Music-listeners have higher proficiency

BACKGROUND INFO CONT.

Classical music = more focused

BACKGROUND INFO CONT.

Classical music makes students more receptive

Purpose:
To see how people are affected by music when performing academic tasks, and to see which types of music are ideal for performing academic tasks.

Scientific Question:
Does music affect how efficient and accurate you are when doing math homework?

Hypothesis:
If 8th grade students do one sheet of math problems while listening to classical music, then their blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature will be lower and the student will be more productive and accurate when doing the sheet while listening to classical music rather than other types because studies show that classical music is usually beneficial and relaxing for a student's schoolwork.
