Travel Inquiry

Question: Will travelers be happy or sad to leave the trip and return home?

Measurement: The number of people happy and sad about leaving.

Hypothesis: I predict that more people will be upset that they will be leaving the Australia and New Zealand trip.

Experiment procedure: I will go around and ask the kids individually what their thoughts are on leaving the trip.
I will tally everyones answer.
Record results.

Data/Observations:
Happy :IIIIIIIIII (10)
Sad     :IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII (20)

Result: As a result of this investigation I learned that travelers will more likely be upset about ending their trip.

New Questions: Does it matter on how people experience the trip that affect their decision?

Possible source of Error: Not getting a clear answer from some people since they put both as an answer.

Improvements: Asking people earlier how they felt instead of when they were tired and more eager to get home.
