My Myth-to-Bust Site

By: Emma W.


My myth is, would it be impossible to not blink while sneezing and if you do keep your eyes open will they pop out.

Step 1:

Hypothesize

I think that it is in fact impossible to sneeze while leaving your eyes open.

Step 2:

Gather Supplies

I will need a tape recorder, proper sneezing material, and the people of course.

Step 3:

Conduct Experiment

My procedure will be to find x amount of people and find out what makes them sneeze. Then I will make them all sneeze normally. Then I will make them sneeze while trying to leave their eyes open. I will tape record the people then slow it down to make sure they did or didn’t blink. After that I will record my results in a chart, and write my conclusion.

I will be conducting my project on Friday the 20th of Jan.
