Abstract

In our research, we want to know whether eating breakfast affects student’s focus on lecture or not. We would divide two groups.

After doing this experiment, we have found that having breakfast does make a big influence on these students. Therefore, that is why some scholars suggest everyone should eat breakfast every day so that the behavior will be better than without breakfast.
