Science Experiment Essay

My View on Statistics Statistics, the all encompassing, universal method of scientifically verifying and studying individuals and their characteristics. The applications of Statistics in any field be it finance, psychology, computer science, ecology, etc. never ends. “Big Data” as some would call it defines the scientific driven decisions of modern companies (The Age of Big Data, Lohr). Statistics uses any type of data to describe a characteristic of many individuals in a population. This…

The first experiment was conducted using an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase that was extracted from a potato. This enzyme is crucial to the potato because it enables the potato to fight off bacteria and other parasites. The enzyme does so by speeding up the reaction that causes catechol to become an oxidized form of itself called benzoquinone. This reaction creates the browning appearance often seen when potatoes are bruised, or damaged. In addition, two control experiments were run. In each…

to learn more about the internal construction of the body, and animals were convenient--more so than humans. The word animal testing and animal research are interchangeable, but both relate to the same meaning: the use of animals in scientific experiments. The range of animals that are being tested on vary from lab to lab, but rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs, and rodents are some of the most commonly used ones. While there has been valuable results from animal testing, like the finding of milk…

(B2 149) Tuesday (9:30am -12:20pm) Date of Experiment: 21/10/2014 INTRODUCTION The purpose of spectroscopy is to observe the relationship between substances in a solvent, and the associated absorbance and transmittance through a range of concentrations (Lothian & Twyman, 1969). However, one must understand the underlying principles of the electromagnetic spectrum in order to analyze the results of the techniques used in this experiment. When one notices the color of an…

2014: 8/109 (Nursing (Social Science)); 10/111 (Nursing (Science)). It is common for parents and children to experience anxiety when children undergo surgery. Perioperative anxiety is known to influence a child’s ability to cope with surgery and has negative impacts on their postoperative recovery. While there have been numerous studies that exemplify that parent’s anxiety is positively associated/correlated with their…

In most science workplaces they have a hierarchy to ensure that all scientists and lab technicians work well as a team. Between technical personnel: Advantages Disadvantages - Technical personnel ensure that the equipment is calibrated correctly and that if it…

were used in a psychological experiment to see how half the group responded to being belittled about speech. This resulted in permanent mental damage for some of the children; therefore the scientists of the experiment attempted to cover it up. (Frater 1) Every year, doctors continue to perform unethical experiments endangering a…

Using Outdated Methods As technology advances computers become faster, science is able to reach to an even further understanding in research. While this is true Doke and Dhawale state in Alternatives to Animal Testing: A Review “Every year, millions of experimental animals are used all over the world” (224). The use of animals for research and lab experiments is not only an outdated method that harms animals, but is also unreliable and unneeded. Using animals for research and experimentation,…

Did research on what males and females look like. We observed the frozen flies. On the first week we used fly nap as an anesthetic for the flies and waiting for them to fall asleep. We sexed the flies and put 10 male and 10 female into a tube. We provided them with food and a sponge to allow oxygen to flow in and out of the tube. The males were Wild type and the Females were type C. After one week we came back to several pupa larva and parents that were active. We once again sedated them with…

believe there are alternatives for all animal research or that animal testing is always misleading and unsafe.” (1) These people are correct; animal testing is a very unethical way to do research and it can and should be avoided. I found “Should we experiment on animals? Yes” by Colin Blakemore, online at Telegraph. I disagree with Colin Blakemore’s belief that animal testing is ethical and is an accurate way to do research. Animal testing does not bring accurate results, it is very costly, and…
