WHAT? HOW DOES CAFFEINE AFFECT DAILY RELATIONSHIPS ? Hypothesis: If a high concentration of

caffeine is added by intraperitoneal injection to a lab rat then the lab rat will be less affective with its relative.

SPECIFIC AIMS

METHODOLOGY I will have four caged lab rats groups. Each

group would have , four rats and a mother.

One lab rat group will only have water and food.(control -)

The second one will have certain amount of caffeine inserted by intraperitoneal injection.

The third group will have a greater amount of caffeine than the second group.

The fourth group will have greater amount of caffeine than the third one.

METHODOLOGY

By using intraperitoneal injections of certain amounts of caffeine in the lab rats , I will observe different activities.
