The results are in! Here are the collated result from all the schools that took part in Sallie’s Enquiry Zone project this summer. 236 students were involved in the experiment, to find out whether knowing positive and negative things about a person influence how attractive you think they are. You can find how to do the experiment here. Click here to download Sallie’s PowerPoint presentation to share with your class and school. How do the overall results compare to your school’s results? If you have done the experiment with your students but haven’t sent in your findings, there’s still time for Sallie to add them to the rest of the results. Email your results to: michaela@mangorol.la We’d also love to hear what you thought of doing the experiment.

Is it clear what the students need to do at each stage? Are there any terms or concepts you’re not familiar with? Are the students doing enough of the science? Is there space for the students to make decisions about what to do? What materials do you feel would be helpful to help you run these lessons?
