Osmosis And Red Potatoes

Decent Essays
My hypothesis didn’t support my experiment, but overall I had fun doing this experiment. My experiment was done so I could prove that red potatoes could also grow slips. So, what I did was that I fill my cup with water then I put my potato in and waited. Each day I recorded my data and nothing happened. What happened was one morning when I was going to check on the potato I found it with white blotches around it. I don’t accept my hypothesis. I don’t accept my hypothesis because my experiment didn’t support my hypothesis. My data backs up my answer, I say this because my table is based on the on my experiment it makes my data backed up. Nothing interfered with my experiment at all. If I were to do this experiment again I would change

    Evaluation When performing the experiment, the pill bugs were generally unresponsive, and many stayed in the same place throughout the whole experiment. Outside of this, no major problems occurred while performing the experiment. If the experiment were to be performed again, more of the IV (baking soda, rubbing alcohol, etc.) would be added to produce a more pronounced effect on the pill bugs, as most pillbugs did not move at all. The results are mostly trustworthy and accurate, as the data is backed up by the research done prior to the experiment. Conversely, more trials could have been performed as experiments with living organisms tend to need a larger sample size.…

    The purpose of this project is to see which liquid evaporates at the fastest rate, when it is directed toward the sunlight. People should care about this project because, for example if you are stranded on an island and you only have sprite, apple juice, and cooking wine then you would need to know which one will last the longest. This can impact your daily life because most people end up leaving their drinks all over the kitchen and forgetting about it. They come back the next day realizing that they left it out, and they are left wondering if the liquids are still good.…

    For 43 years and counting, an explanation for a medical phenomenon without scientific evidences is still supported. Shaken Baby Syndrome has been drilled into the minds of Doctors and Pediatrician as fact, and is here to stay. Shaken Baby Syndrome was first coined by John Caffey in 1972. This syndrome was based on his personal observations of babies who had these three symptoms, but no obvious signs of physical trauma to the head or neck. “The state’s theory is that a person can pick up a baby and shake the baby hard enough to create subdural bleeding in protective layers of the brain, bleeding in the eyes and brain swelling that can leads to the baby’s death.…

    For my group’s project we changed the size of the woosh bottles to .5, 1, and 2 liter bottles. I learned that the size of the bottle strongly affects how far the bottle will travel. The larger the bottle, the farther it travelled. I learned that the chemical reactions in the bottle with the ethanol and the flame creates energy which propels the rocket. The ethanol is also ‘absorbed’ by the fire of the match.…

That even if we are normally one thing we are willing to behave/conform to what we think society is telling us we have to be. We are willing to assimilate within the group or surroundings (based on which side you’re viewing) due to what we perceive our position to be and assume the associated roles/norms that go with it. And sometimes just to maintain our own sanity.…

    The Importance Of Biology

    If the test refutes the hypothesis however, then a new hypothesis should be formulated in order to correlate with the results of the test. Once the hypothesis fully supports the test, then a scientific theory can be formulated. The scientific method relies on hypothetico-deductive reasoning, observations, and facts (Reece JB et al. 2014). This is the main reason why biology is different from art and religion. Individuals want to have the ability to understand who they are and how they got to be the way that they are.…
