QUESTION: Will people use there right side of their body more than their left?
HYPOTHESIS: People will use their right side more than their left?
MATERIALS LIST:
• A ball
• A paper towel tube
• A phone
• Pen and paper
PROCEDURES:
Step 1: Find volunteers to do take the test.
Step 2: Once you find enough volunteers have them go through a series of test to see what part of there body is in more use.
Step 3: First you see what foot they use to kick the ball and record your data.
Step 4: Second you give them a paper towel tube and see what eye they put it up to, then record your data
Step 5: Third give them a phone and see what ear they put it up to and record your data.
Step 6: Lastly give them a pen and paper and see what hand they use to write on the paper with then record your data.
Step 7: Repeat steps three through four, for all your volunteers.

Results: The data tables shows that the biggest difference was between the right and left handed girls. The table showed that the right hand is the most dominate between men and woman. In women there was a far more difference but with the other categories it was very close. If you look at the data table you can see that men had the closes dominate in right and left hand, but you can also see that in men that there wasn’t that much of a difference. So according to our data the right part of men and women were used the most but you can also see in men that the total was right near each other.
Conclusion: Our hypothesis was correct. We stated that people will use there right side more than there left. The reason why we say this is because the majority of the people our partners and we tested were right handed and used the right side of there body more than there left. We got some information off the computer to back up some of our opinions. One website talked the handedness between rights and left, it said that handedness can be described as a hand that performs faster on manual test, according to our data that is the right hand. However I’ve found some information on the right and left hemisphere of our brain. Some people may not know that are brain is split into two such like and apple cut in half, one side of the brain is the left and another is the left. The information that we found tells me the side of the brain is specific for speech production and language comprehension. The right hemisphere comes into play when people can’t understand a certain language. Therefore our data proved that the right part of the body is used the most.

Abstract
Our project is called are you Left or Right Sided. Our project consists of information based on the right and left dominance and hemisphere of your body. We have found some information that can help me with our experiment, We went to a website that told us about handedness, handedness can be describe as the hand that performs faster on manual tests. There are two type of handedness which is the left and right. We also found some information on the left and right hemisphere of your brain. It told me that your brain is split into two halves, which is a left and right side. We began to do further our search as we did so we began to think about what side of our body we use the most, we realized that we write with our right hand but we do most things with the left part of our body. We went to a website and it gave me some information that we found interesting. The web site said humans have the most obvious functional which is the left sides which is specialized in speech and language abilities. In the mid-1800s, Paul Broca a French neurosurgeon identified a particular area of the left hemisphere that plays a primary role in speech production. Shortly afterwards, a German neurologist, Carl Wernicke, identified another part of the left hemisphere primarily concerned with language comprehension. Therefore you can see above that the left side of your brain has to do with comprehending things and you speaking. The more one knows about the neurological mechanisms underlying language abilities, the more complicated these issues become, for example some people have problems speaking because there speech is specialize on the right hemisphere. However there is a great deal about brain lateralization that we may still not understand.

NHD Annotated Bibliography
Annotated Bibliography
Ms annotated bibliography tells about desegregation in Girard college. My first source is
Girard college History, Author: Elizabeth Laurent, in the history of Stephen Girard it told about what was the use of the college. He wanted to make a college for male boys who were poor, orphans, and white. While they attended the school they had to learn different things. He wanted to educate children to become a productive citizen. This source helps with my NHD because it states how Girard wanted a school for only males that were only white. This goes with conflict and compromise because the conflict is that only poor white males were allowed to attend this school. The compromise is when blacks were able to attend the school after a lengthy court battle.
My second source is School desegregation and civil rights stories Girard college Philadelphia Pennsylvania, The national archives, In this document they talked about brown vs. board of education and they also fought how they wouldn’t allow poor orphans in the school unless they were white. The Supreme Court finally passed in 1968 when the first African American was granted admission. This helps me with NHD because the topic conflict and compromise the reason why I say this is because the conflict was that Girard College wasn’t letting anyone in the school unless they were white. The compromise was that in 1968 African Americans were allowed to attend.
My third source The Gradual Integration of Girard College, Recording, “ During the civil rights movement many I situations changed their admission policy. Girard College in Philadelphia admitted its first black student after a lengthy court battle”. This source tells me how white students were allowed to be in the school but in order for blacks to be in the school they had to fight for what they wanted.
My fourth source a written Document.
Final Decree, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, et al v. Revelle W. Brown, et al, Civil Action No. 39494, July 5, 1967, United States District Court, The Eastern District of Pennsylvania, National Archives Mid Atlantic Branch. This document tells about who is allowed in the school and who is eligible. This document states if you are not white you cannot be admitted to the school. This is good for NHD because it’s a conflict because it states how Girard College wasn’t letting students in because they were black to be admitted to Girard College you had to be white and an orphan.
My fifth source is Notice to Attorneys, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, et al v. Revelle W. Brown, et al, Civil Action No. 39494, July 5, 1967, United States District Court, The Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and National Archives Mid Atlantic Branch. I quote the defendants are permanently enjoined from denying admission of poor male orphans to Girard college on the sole ground that they are not white. My opinion on this is that it is clearly wrong to deny children in need or anybody for the fact that they are black. This is unconstitutional and something needs to change.
My sixth source is The Small Elephant: Girard College The Small Elephant: Girard College, a summary from this document that read In his will dated February 16, 1830, Stephen Girard, a wealthy Philadelphia merchant, stipulated the establishment of a school for white males between six and eighteen years of age. Under the will, Girard having sincerely at heart the welfare of the City of Philadelphia left the principal part of his estate to the Mayor, Alderman and citizens of Philadelphia, their successors and assigns money for a number of charitable purposes of which the school was one. The purpose of these gifts was to foster the prosperity of the City, and the health and comfort of its inhabitants. This related to NHD because this is a conflict because it only talks about in his will he was only willing to help whites and basically he was saying forget about the African Americans because they don’t needs no help. I find this as a conflict because it’s wrong and there’s no way around that.
My seventh source is the school segregation cases, Janet Stevenson. A phrase that was written towards African American students “ GIVE US BACK OUR SCHOOLS NIGGERS GO BACK TO AFRICA.” Why this is a major conflict for NHD because it is pure wrong and disrespectful. This happened in Washington D.C when black student was admitted for the first time in 1954. The white students disagreed with the decisions so they wore placards that read.
My eighth source is Desegregation in Public school, Linda Brown. A summary of the case read on September of 1950 some parents tried to enroll there African American children and they were told that they couldn’t do so because they were in Washington D.C and they required separate schools for whites and blacks. The principal of the school said that it was a law created by the congress because Washington D.C is not a state and it is not in any state. The principal said he couldn’t do anything for the kids so he recommended the parents to take it to court. They did and it became known as the “SpottsWood Boiling Case”. This is a good choice for NHD because it goes back to conflict and compromise because it lets the world know that it wasn’t the school fault about the decision to have an all white school it was the congress. I think there decision was unfair and very racial for that fact because I believe that students should be able to mix with other races.
My ninth source is Tearing down 'The Wall' led to change; Cecil B. Moore led desegregation campaign against Girard College, Philadelphia Tribune, The Date: May 25, 2004 Author: McCoy, Lezlie B. This document talked about how Girard college was finally able to tear down the wall which talked about letting African Americans in the school. This document help me in NHD because it gives me information I need to know about Girard College and all that African Americans went through to attend that school.
My tenth source is A Messenger Sent From Heaven" Recalling the day Martin Luther King Jr. called for an end to Girard College's "whites only" policy. Philadelphia Weekly Date: January 20, 2004 Author: Anonymous. This document talks about what happen during the civil rights movement an the well known stone divider along Girard Avenue--known as College Wall--became a divisive symbol, based upon which side of the wall you stood. From the outside, the wall surrounding the 43-acre fortress appeared cold and sinister from the inside, warm and comforting. The children living outside the wall in North Philadelphia's crowded neighborhoods were mostly poor and black. The children living inside the wall--who received a free prep school education, swam in the indoor pools and ran through never-ending fun. This is good for NHD because it tells me what the symbol of the wall meant and how the lives of black and white were separated by it.

NHD Topic Essay
Desegregation in Girard College
My topic is desegregation in Girard College. I chose this topic because it relates to NHD conflict and compromise. I say this because Stephen Girard bought this building and named it Girard College. Stephen whole philosophy was that he wanted to make a school for white orphan boys who didn’t have a father. Stephen vision was that his mission was he wanted to educate children to become productive citizens.
How did segregation come into play with Girard College? On February 16, 1830, Stephen Girard a wealthy Philadelphia merchant, stipulated the establishment of a school for white males between six and eighteen years of age this was in his will. In January 1848 Girard College opened for the education of white male orphans. An attorney named Raymond Pace Alexander who was an African American and he thought that the institution was municipal in nature. He said that the school racial discrimination was unconstitutional.
The board of city trusts tried to persuade Girard College to let African American boys in, but some of the board members decided against it so they said that the board was going against the 14th amendment and the brown decision from the brown vs. board of education. Thirteen years after brown decision a final ruling was affirmed by the supreme court that the school were permanently enjoyed from denying admission of poor male orphans on the sole ground that they are not white provided that they were qualified for admission. The first African American student was eventually granted admission to the school in 1968.
How does desegregation in Girard College go with my NHD topic conflict and compromise? The desegregation in Girard College goes with conflict and compromise because the conflict was that Stephen Girard who was a wealthy man and in his will he said he wanted a school made for white boys who was from the age of sixteen to eighteen who were and orphan. He made it clear that the boys had to be white the compromise was that it took a long time for them to go through this long trial and finally and African American student was admitted.
