Final Report from Long Branch High School

Long Branch High School Long Branch, NJ 07740 Mrs. Maurice Biology Block Two tenth Graders and ten ninth graders To finalize our project we have written this short final report to summarize all we have learned from this project. This project was fairly easy and didn’t give us much trouble as far as how it was designed. We learned many things from this project, such as observation of data, collecting data and analyzing results of data. If someone asked us about the outcome of our project we would defiantly have to say it went very well it was a lot of work but we got it all finished and learned a lot from it. If we had to do this project again the only thing we would like to do differently would be to make sure things were more organized. That was a major problem for us, keeping track of everyone’s results and other papers we needed for the project. The only suggestion we could make to the project leader would be, be more specific with certain questions, they were a little difficult to understand by the way that they were explained. Yes, the expectations matched the results, they were very close in numbers. The procedure of analyzing the data was very long. We had to manually add up all the results. Hopefully next time we do something like this we can think of a better way to keep the data and analyze the data. Now to get to our results. Some of our results were shocking to us but others were what we intended they would be. We surveyed a total of 627 students out of our school so we got most of our school. The percentages for ear lobes were 65% had unattached earlobes and 35% had ear lobes that were attached. Every time we would ask students about the white forlock they would just sit and laugh at us but we did manage to find 1% of the total surveyed had the white forlock and 99% did not. We found that 15% of the students surveyed had dimples and 84% were without. Next, we surveyed the thumbs, it took students a little time to see whether or not their thumbs were straight or curved. 47% had straight thumbs, and 53% had curved. 57% of the students surveyed had straight pinkies and 43% had bent. Most of the students we surveyed didn’t have mid-digit Hair that was 60%, but we did have 39% with mid-digit hair. Out of all the people we surveyed 11% were colorblind and 89% were not. These were the results hope they will be helpful to you and your continuous study for the dominate genetic trait.
