Our group received our given assignment of imitating levitation. We will blindfold a person, have them stand on a board, and tell them they are being lifted. The combination of the imitation of movement and the placebo effect (they believe they are really being lifted) will make them believe it really happened. We were informed that on average the general population reported being lifted 'around 3 feet'. We spent the day completing worksheets eleven and twelve.

Friday, March 27, 2015 -- Our group agreed that the fair, although tiring, was an enjoyable experience. However, we had hoped our experiment and hypothesis would have been been successful, and that the participant were not as disrespectful and did not tell others the secret to our experiment.

It sounds like your group has an interesting topic/concept, and I look forward to seeing the end result. I plan to test out the placebo effect and see if it impacts my perception of being lifted or not. Keep up the great work, and I am looking forward to seeing the end results.
