Shopping
Male v Female
We thought that females might have a different attitude to shopping than males. Often females seem to shop more than males.
Females seem to shop for clothes more than males, even buying clothes for males. Quite a few females seem to go shopping for relaxation.
We set out to investigate!

Our Conclusions
We found out that both males and females said that
they each shop differently. We found that was because they like to shop for
different things.Most men do like to shop as much as females, which surprised
us.
Men don't like to take their time in shops where as females do.
All the males said they like to buy things for them and someone else, but the
females only half of them said that they like shopping for themselves and someone
else.
