The hypothesis is that students who listen to the comprehension passage read to them will retain more information compared to students who read the comprehension passage themselves.

You will select two sets of comprehension passages of equal difficulty, prepare two sets of question papers for the passages, and give the students 30 minutes to read one set of passages and listen to the other set being read to them. After the 30 minutes, you will give the students the corresponding test papers to answer.

You will need 5 boys and 5 girls aged 15 years, 2 sets of comprehension passages labeled A and B, 2 sets of question papers for the above comprehension passages (labeled Paper A and Paper B), a quiet examination room, and an assistant to help coordinate the tests.

The results show that the students’ performance in the tests is better after listening compared to reading. The boys and girls scored higher for the test B compared to test A. This proves that students who listen to the comprehension passage read to them will retain more information compared to students who read the comprehension passage themselves.

This science project is interesting because it explores the different ways in which people learn. It also shows how audio can be used as a teaching tool, and how it can help us remember and retain information better.

Consider repeating the experiment using visual teaching like power point presentations or pictures. You could also try the experiment on subjects of a different age group.

Hey there! Here are some awesome videos about this science project that we think you'll really like. They're not only super fun, but they'll also help you learn more about the science behind the project. So sit back, relax, and get ready to have some fun!!
