4th of ESO RESEARCH PROJECT

In 4th of ESO you have to do a research project in groups and then you have to present it so the teachers can give you a mark.

I have made it with Yasmina and Ioana and we did it about daltonism which is a inability to perceive color differences. We have chosen this theme because we are in biology class and lately we have been talking about it so we wanted to know more about it and we thought that it would we a good research to see the percentage of affected population in Castelló d'Empúries.

The process was actually fun because the practice consisted on going class by class and doing the Ishihara test to some of the students, so we met new people and we also found some daltonic ones.

Doing the writing was the hardest part because we also had to deal with exams and some other projects but luckly we were three so we divided the work and it was faster.

Also, two weeks ago, we presented what we have found to the class and I think was very good because we knew about what we were talking about and none of us was nervous.

This is how the Ishihara test works. If you have a normal vision you see the number like the first one but if you have a decrased ability to see color you will see the first numer like the second or the third one, depending of your grade of daltonism.


This is how a daltonic sees the color pencils depending on how is he/she affected.
