Chapter 5 is the chapter where you discuss your results. Basically, you restate if your hypothesis
was or was not supported, and you discuss how you think you got those results. If your results
supported your hypothesis, you should discuss what might have been the cause for the difference
between the two groups. If your results were not significant, you should discuss what might have
prevented you from getting significant results. Regardless of your results, you should also discuss
problems that occurred during the experiment. I discussed some of the problems with each group.

Along with chapter 5, you should also complete your reference section. This section should
present the articles, books, or websites that you used to support your hypothesis.
Please provide the title, author, and date of any of the articles that you reference. You will also need
to include the title of the journal, magazine, or newspaper in which the article appears. For web sites,
you will need to provide the title of the web site and the URL.
