This was Thomas' question for this years science fair...
??What is the best time in the day for the average student to learn??
He decided to test Emily's third grade class for 5 days.
He tested them morning, midday and afternoon.
He brought in 10 different items, let them look at them for 30 seconds; then gave them 1 minute to write down the things they remembered.

It was a very interesting study. Overall as a class, the kids did better in the afternoon remembering an average of 5 items each.
As individuals, the kids that did better in the morning remembered an average of 6 more items! The kids that did better in the afternoon remembered an average of 3 more.
Thomas did a great job, so great in fact that he is moving on to DISTRICT!
Congrats Thomas! :)

Great job Thomas! That is a great science project topic! Love it!
Way to go Thomas! Good luck!
Very interesting, I don't understand why it is different between class and individual, it seems like it would all be morning. I love seeing how confident Thomas is infront of the class, and you can tell he really had their interest. I bet Emily loved having Thomas test her class. Great Job Thomas!!!!!!!! Love you
explain the results...i need a little extra help. ;)
for me...morning all the way!!!!!!!
Loved the pictures. he looked like a teacher up there!
The behavioral sciences are my favorite...Thomas' science experiments are so awesome!!!! How fun for Emily that he used her class! Thomas looks like a professor in these pictures.
I look forward to your next experiment Thomas! These experiments could develop into an awesome college portfolio.
