Imagine your family pet being enclosed in a small, cold, and dirty cage for days, weeks, or even months on end, only being taken out to be subjected to painful experiments without any anesthetic, as well as the possibility of developing life threatening diseases and injuries. Too many animals experience this on a regular basis around the globe - in fact, nearly 25 million animals will be used as test subjects annually. Animal testing is a horrible occurrence, one that brings suffering to even…
Purpose/Rationale The purpose of this experiment is to find out what liquid out of coke, coffee or tea will stain an eggshell the most. I chose to so this project because I think that it can help people who have problems with their teeth not being clean. They may find out why their teeth are staining so bad. Coke, coffee and tea can do a bunch of damage. But in this experiment I wanted to know the exact percentage of staining that they may cause. I think that learning how much a everyday drink…
chemicals and everything that scientists use on these animals have a chance of hurting these animals mentally and physically, and it can cause suffering and distress. Sadly, most of the animals used for animal testing are killed after all of the experiments, but there are some that go through more testing if the first test that they go through does not affect them in any way. There is a lot of ways that scientists test these animals, some include forced chemical exposure in toxicity testing.…
Imagine this... you are prancing around in a field with your friends. All is peaceful and calm until a massive, overwhelming figure crouches over you and starts to shove you into a cage that is half your size. You kick and scream at the top of your lungs, but no one seems to hear a thing. The next thing you know, a worker starts to inject you with a green, jelly-like material and suddenly, you blackout. This is what poor, innocent creatures go through every, single day. Stories similar to this…
By definition, animal testing is any scientific experiment in which a live animal undergoes testing for human products in a lab. Since 384 B.C, animals such as mice, have been used for testing. In more recent years, scientists have used these animals to test the safety of human products. There are many great benefits to this scientific practice. High end makeup brands, such as: Urban Decay, MAC, and NARS, ensure the safety of their products by testing on animals. Furthermore, mice are used in…
various experiments to develop medical treatments, determine the toxicity of medications, check the safety of products that are potentially going to be used on humans, and other biomedical, commercial, and health care uses (Should Animals Be Used 1). The types of animals that are most commonly used are dogs, monkeys, mice, rats, pigs, and rabbits. The…
accommodated to any theory.” (Klee 65) The philosophy of science is mainly apprehensive with the methods, predictions, and conclusions of science. Today, a hypothesis is generally thought by scientists to be a law or theory awaiting to be proven through an experiment. Some question how much evidence or what types of evidence we need in order to construct a reasonable hypothesis. Can they both be correct? An example of a scientific experiment that tested a hypothesis involved…
ISE SUMMER PROJECT 2015 Probability, randomness, and chance should be central in any STEM pedagogical model. The concepts of randomness and chance play a very significant role in the essence of all sciences, and especially in the empirical sciences. Randomness is a critical component of biological modeling at many levels in a wide range of systems. The fundamental axioms of the quantum paradigm in physics are, by definition, essentially stochastic. Economics uses the randomness in human thought…
Heidegger’s Experiment”, and “Rappaccini's Daughter”, portrays scientists negatively in these stories. Each of these allegories show how corrupt, inhumane, and manipulative scientist could be. In “The Birthmark”, Aylmer, a scientist married to Georgina, puts his love for science over his love for his wife and continues to manipulate her. In the beginning it seemed as if Aylmer loved Georgiana more than science or about the same amount as science, but it is shown that he clearly favors…
to discuss their revelations, limiting the sources of knowledge that contributed to scientific advancement. Throughout the early modern period, however, the practice of science was slowly shifting towards more empirical research and more accurate measurements of data. At the beginning of The Scientific Revolution, most experiments were conducted with inappropriate materials and…
