Ideas for Human Behavior Science Projects
Human Behavior Science Projects explore the fascinating ways that human being behave. There are so many things to discover, that the hardest part may be simply choosing a topic. Here’s a list of ideas to get you started.
1. Determine the soothing effect of music by taking the pulse before and after a five minute session.
2. Find out if two ears or one are better at localizing a sound by hiding an object, and timing how long individuals take to find it. (Get a complete project guide for this project at Online Science Projects.)
3. See if wearing glasses helps or hurts sales by counting profit.
4. Find out if yawning is contagious behavior by watching a group of children before and after the group leader yawns.
5. Do younger children like their teachers more than older students? Rate the popularity of teachers that teach multiple ages of kids.
6. Measure the time it takes for children to learn a poem set to music or not set to music.
7. Find out if the scent of lemon helps attention by calculating test scores of people who have or have not sniffed a lemon.
8. See if more people are visual learners or auditory learners by having humans memorize a telephone number that they see or that they hear.
Of course, any study of human behavior will show that students like to come up with new and unique ideas. So put on your thinking cap and come up with your own project! If you need help, check out our free parent guide called “If It’s My Child’s Project, Why am I Doing all the Work?” For finding places to gather your experiment participants, see yesterday’s blog. And let us know what you come up with by emailing scienceideas AT 24hourscienceprojects.com. We’d love to hear what you chose to do for your human behavior science project.
