I feel nuetrally about the power balance bands. I do not believe that they can make you feel more powerful, or give you more energy, but i do believe that it may help you mentally believe you have more energy and that you are more balenced and powerful. I believe this because of some tests I did in the classroom with about 5 people.
My hypothesis is, "Power balance bands can only effect you if you know you are wearing one, and what they do to help you." I can test this by giving 5 people a power balance band, and let them know what it is supposed to do, and then I will find 5 people who do not know what power balance bands are and have them wear them. I will then make observations and give them tests and see what their results are. When I am done making my observations on the group that did not know what the bands were supposed to be I will inform them of what they are supposed to do and then retest them and see how there results change or do not change.
It is important to look at both sides of an argument before forming your hypothesis for the same reason it's best to base your conclusion on all the evidence in an expierement. If you only use some of the evidence you're only getting part of the story, and you're hypothesis and/or your experiment will not be giving you all the necessary information to make a logical conclusion
