2. How many numbers can you remember before you forget in a sequence?

3. I chose this topic because I have wondered how far people could remember numbers without forgetting. There are people who can remember a lot of numbers and they are adults. How long could a 12 year old remember without forgetting? Could they remember as long as an adult or won’t be able to remember as good or could a child remember better than an adult?

4. My Hypothesis
If I tell them my sequence of numbers then, I think five numbers is when people start to forget.

5. Independant, Dependant, Constants
Independant-Each person(Drew, Noah, Ethan)
Dependant-Amount of sequences before the person forgets
Constants-Same numbers, all index cards, clipboards, same age

6. Procedure Make a number sequence that composes digits 0-9.
You will make 9 sequences and you will start with a two digit sequence and then make a three and so on until you get a 10 digit sequence.
Put a paperclip on each different sequence.
Put them in a shoebox for easy transportation.
Make a data table.
Do the number sequences to three participants.
Record your results.

7. Data Collection Drew- Drew remembered five sequences.
Noah- Noah remembered five sequences.
Ethan- Ethan remembered six sequences.

8. Conclusion
How many sequences could you remember without forgetting. We had to make index cards and tell them numbers in a sequence and see how far they could remember without forgetting. Drew and Noah remembered five sequences and ethan had six. My hypothesis was supported because I said it would be five and i was right. I learned that average people can remembered up to around five sequences.
