Inquiry Day 10

During this day we went to an Aborigine museum area and learned about how the Aborigines lived. We also watched a few shows and got to throw spears and boomerangs.
My inquiry was not a normal inquiry. Instead of doing something on nature, I decided to mix it up and do something about people. My question was "At dinner, would Mason talk more then Erik?". So during dinner at the pizza restaurant, I counted in my head when either of them made a new conversation or added onto the old one. I took trials in durations of one minute and I did 3 trials. My results were that in the first minute, Erik talked once while Mason talked twice. In the second minute Erik talked twice and Mason also talked twice. During the third and final trial, Erik talked once and Mason talked three times. The results were in three minutes Erik talked four times while Mason talked seven times. My hypothesis was that Mason would talk more then Erik so I was correct.
