Abstract
The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effects of various materials on their ability to block cell phone signal. Five different materials were compared, steel, tin, wood, glass, and plastic. The five materials were in the form of boxes, and they were used as cell phone signal blocker. Therefore, the results of this study could be used to determine which material would weaken the cell phone signal the most. The hypothesis of this experiment is that tin would have the most negative impact on cell phone signal strength. The results of this experiment supported the hypothesis. In conclusion, this experiment could benefit people by knowing where they should choose to go when they need stronger cell phone signal.
