ABSTRACT
Jeff and Lauren will study and explore the portrayal of whether dark chocolate can make you smarter if you eat it for breakfast. This study aims to replicate and, or prove the theory.
Blah Blah BLAH the boring bit... Skip like 5 lines if you ain't got time.
Leading the analysis of the study, which was held between 2001 and 2006, was Georgina Crichton, a nutrition researcher at the University of South Australia. Ms Crichton recognised the study presented a unique opportunity to examine the effects of chocolate on the brain, using a large sample size of just under 1,000 (Graham, 2016).
"Our study definitely indicates that the direction is not that cognitive ability affects chocolate consumption, but that chocolate consumption affects cognitive ability" Dr. Who (2016)
What did Dr Who just say? Dunno. Anyway - back to Jeff and Lauren's scientific investigation.
Jeff and Lauren decided to put this theory to the test and conduct a scientific experiment on their Win it Minute contestants.
They sourced this from the online registrations for the Win it Minute which YOU can pop your name down for if you'd like. Click right HERE to do that.
Jeff and Lauren also went on a chocolate hunt to find the most explosive dark chocolate ever.
As you can see in Figure 1, they had to search for a very long time.
The dark chocolate they found was the strongest dark chocolate that anyone has ever found. The ingredients are as follows:
Cocoa, Mins, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla. Everything you need and more to take on a quiz.
Findings and discussion
The findings and discussion chapter focuses on the data collected. The chapter will also discuss both the quantitative and qualitative findings.
This section also aims to discuss the main arguments in the findings, whilst responding to the objectives of the research in order to come to a conclusion on the overall aim of the study.
The total number of central characters involved in the research is 2.
Sammy from Inverurie and Susan from Drumoak.
As you can see from Figure 2, the chocolate did not work. Not even in the slightest.
Before Sammy from Inverurie ate the dark chocolate, she claimed that she scored 9/10 playing along with the Win it Minute the day before. Listen to the below audio to play along with Sammy and beat her score (you can eat dark choc if you want.)
Not a bad effort but not a win.
Before Susan from Drumoak ate the dark chocolate, she claimed that she scored 2/10 playing along with the Win it Minute the day before.
As you can see in Figure 2... Yes, Susan from Drumoak DID get one more than she got the day before but as you can ALSO see, she did not win the Win it Minute. Listen to the audio below to play along with Susan and beat her score (you can eat dark choc if you want.)
No ÂŁ250 for them.... although, they did get free chocolate.
CONCLUSION
This chapter aims to conclude the study and re-affirm the aim.
Dark chocolate may or may not make you smarter.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Leave it to the real docs.
What this experiment did do though...
Is convince John Turner to give it a go.
