Science Fair -> Music & Memory?
I'm planning to make a science fair project about ''the effect of listening to music while trying to memorize words.''
I think that I'll contrast the effects of different styles of music like classical and metal to see if classical helps you memorize more words and metal makes it harder.
For now, I'm just starting to work on my research on exactly how am I going to do this.
Before I begin, I would like to ask some questions:
1. Do you have any advice on how should I conduct my experiment?
2. Do you think I should choose songs that have words or just a soundtrack?
3. How big should my sample for this project be? Would 100 students be enough?
4. Can you mention any variable that could affect my experiment?

Number 3 100 students would be great.
1. Put 50 listening to music and 50 not.
2 Use all kinds. Divide into different music and some soundtracks.
4. Make sure all are near equal level in learning. A rhodes scholar would do well no matter where you put them.
