What is the hypothesis you will test in your experiment? What are the independent and  dependent variables? Who will be the subjects or participants in your study? What are the experimental and control group conditions? Here, you  may assume that you have the resources necessary to conduct your  experiment and that you can control, or manipulate, the environment of  your subjects as necessary. For example, suppose your hypothesis is as  follows: Higher levels of stress from a heavy course workload increase  eating activity. Assume that you have the ability to control the  workload, etc., of your subjects.

How will you assign your subjects to groups? What are the possible results of your study, and what might these results indicate about your hypothesis?

Be sure to  propose your hypothesis, and then describe the independent and dependent  variables, the experimental and control conditions, the subject or  participant groups, and the conclusions you can draw based on the  results of your experiment.
