For my final science project, I am taking the blood pressure of 6 students, three males, and three females. I hope to conclude whether the students blood pressure is higher in the morning before school, or after school in the afternoon.
My only issue is, that I have to tell how it applies to science. Does anyone have any idea of how blood pressure would apply to science?

sure… blood pressure really, honest, is pressure of the blood. Pressure is a science topic; physical science. It’s like the pressure of water in the pipes in your house. If you start to get a clog in one of the pipes, you would have to apply more pressure to get the same amount of water to flow through the pipe. … otherwise the amount of water flowing decreases. The same goes for the pipes in our circulatory system.
Well what you did is a sort of scientific experiment. Science entails making hypothesis(guesses) and than conducting experiments to gain evidence for or against those guesses, This precess that you are carrying out is closely linked with the scientific process(how we discover new ideas based on evidence). You project might be stronger if you took a guess at: when the blood pressure will be highest and why.
This experiment is looking at human biology, which is a science just like chemistry, physics, or earth science.
Think about it in terms of the scientific method. You are asking a question (whether the students blood pressure is higher in the morning before school, or after school in the afternoon), and you can make a hypothesis after you do some research. Then you will make observations and test your hypothesis, and come up with a conclusion and explanation.
If you are thinking about its applications, think about what your conclusions would mean for people with high blood pressure. When would it be best for them to take their medication? Should medication dosage be different at different times of day?
