Color Affecting Test Scores

Improved Essays
One of the most incredible things we see every day is color. Color is what makes objects more interesting and less annoying to look at. There are many colors: Red, blue, green, yellow, orange, purple, and so forth. We use these colors for drawing, coloring, printing on the computer, watching tv shows, and playing video games. My experiment is, “Does color affect test scores?”. How I am going to do this experiment is I will first collect supplies and participants for the experiment. Then, I will make the tests on white, red, and yellow paper. Next, I will have the participants take the tests separately in a room on each of the colored tests. Finally, I will collect the tests and find the averages of the scores and compare it to the other colors of paper. My hypothesis is, “If a person takes a test on the red or yellow paper, then it will decrease their scores”. …show more content…
Some colors, like black, absorb all the light hitting them. Scientists consider black the absence of all color but artists consider it a color. Our eyes and brain transform this light into color(Color Think Tank). An object is not the color it is, it just reflects wavelengths for us to see(LiveScience).Nobody created or founded color, it has been around since the beginning of time. Today, color has improved greatly and we use it for the amazing television and smartphones. Television,which we “NEED”, had its beginnings around the 1940s. It was not a commercially viable until the 1950s. Soon, the color tv was rapidly spreading throughout the world(Television

    Jack R. Poppele once said,“Television’s future is as expansive as the human mind can comprehend.” This is true considering the enormous advances that have been made in the television industry, since Philo Farnsworth first demonstrated it to the public in 1927. In 1945 it was estimated that there were less than 10,000 television sets in American households, which later rose to 52 million sets in 1960. Nowadays 96.7 percent of Americans have a television in their household, and the average American watches 5 hours of TV a day. Television has swiftly changed American culture in extreme ways, along with impacting the views of politics, education, and entertainment.…

    When I think about the old world, only in distant memories and muted daydreams, I mostly think about color. The urban world was dashed in eye-catching colors and neon lights. Nature was slightly more subdued; somewhat monochromatic, yet varied in understated tones of grey, brown, and green. Color is hard to come by, now, with the exception of flame and blood. Rampant fires and firestorms consumed forests and cities long ago, and everyday continue to demolish what was once taken for granted.…

    Genetic Synthesis Essay

    Introduction: Genes are the basic physical and functional units of heredity that are transferred from parents to offspring (What Is a Gene, 2014). Every person inherits, or receives, one copy of each gene from their parents, and most genes are the same in all people (What Is a Gene, 2014). Since genes, on the molecular level, are a sequence of DNA nucleotide bases, any change in this sequence results in a genetic mutation (Mader & Windelspecht, 2012). Less than 1% of human genes have small differences in their sequence of DNA bases between individuals.…
