Hypothesis:
Logan and I hypothesized that when we both consumed or ate the same foods our mV per second maybe different not by much but still noticeably different. We assumed this because our height and bodies are total opposites. So with that we figured that my rate of this chewing lab would be greater then hers. More mass would equal higher rate of chewing compared to the other.Materials:
-Logger Pro
-Electrode -Tabs
-Different Foods
Experiment:
In our experiment we first placed the electrode tabs on the upper and lower parts of one of our jaws and also one tab on the inside of our wrist. We hood the clips to the tabs that read into the computer program and then began testing our experiment. We began by simply recording the resting period with clenching of the jaw. From there we moved on testing different kinds of foods for about 30 to 45 seconds. Each food had a different rate and amount of time it took to chew thus proving that our jaw works harder with some foods and easier with others.
Results:
So after all the recording and chewing we had our results. And we seen that to a point we did prove our hypothesis right as for the fact that every food that Logan and I ate her rate was lower then my own. So therefor proving our hypothesis correct that overall some people chew harder or faster then others.
