Objective
Examine how hydration affects cognitive performance.
Materials
- Cognitive function tests (e.g., puzzles, memory tasks)
- Water
- Participants
- Notebook for recording data
Instructions
- Test participants’ baseline cognitive function using puzzles or memory tasks.
- Divide participants into two groups: one that will be hydrated and one that will not.
- Have the hydrated group drink a specific amount of water.
- Re-test cognitive function after a set period (e.g., 30 minutes) for both groups.
- Record and compare the cognitive performance of both groups in your notebook.
- Analyze the data to determine how hydration impacts cognitive function.
- Present your findings in a report, discussing the importance of staying hydrated for mental performance.
