    A group of students decided to test whether or not listening to music affects the productivity of students. They decided to time the students while they created origami tulips and measure the amount of tulips they made each day while they either listen to music or don't. They found that upbeat / high tempo music will make an increase in productivity because the music will inspire and make students motivated to perform the task they are given.
