Having test subjects perform potentially damaging experiments on other test subjects is immoral and unethical. How would you feel if in this class we ran unexplained, undetailed experiments on each student in the class for a grade and to test how obedient each student is? In Opening Skinner’s Box: Obscura, such an experiment takes place where you were forced into a corner. Mentally you were cornered and had no choice but to cooperate with the experiment. Your mind is telling you that what you’re…

given to see how well the students work with one another. The control group in this experiment are the girls and boys in the co-ed classroom and the girls in the single-gendered classroom are the experimental group. The independent variable is whether or not there are boys in the classroom and the dependent variable is the success of the girls in math. I will collect my data by two different ways in this experiment. The first way is by observation. I will observe both groups of girls when they…

Introduction The experiment will be working with diffusion and osmosis; it will test if the starch will travel through the semi permeable membrane (dialysis tube) causing osmosis. Diffusion is when a substance is highly concentrated turns into a lower concentration, and is evenly distributed throughout. An example of diffusion is when you cook and the smell of food flows until it in dynamic equilibrium; which is the even distribution of the substance. Osmosis is the movement through a semi…

Introduction This is an experimental study into the effects of exposure to online pharmacies that sell home tests for diagnosing a medical disease, on people’s attitudes and behavioral intentions. ‘Online pharmacies’ are Internet-based webshops that sell medical products to individual consumers for use at home (e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_pharmacy)‘Home diagnostic tests’ are tests that one can use independently, i.e. without a prescription, supervision or intervention by a health…

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 device and tray are then placed under a stereomicroscope for analysis. Lighting for experiments is provided by a 1000 lumen LED lightbulb. Usage of an LED lightbulb ensures that minimal heat will be introduced to the device and the output of light remains constant, ensuring that all pictures are exposed to the same degree of lighting which…

4. PHASE A TESTING 4.1. PURPOSE The primary purpose of Phase A testing is to evaluate the feasibility of an Arduino-based system in regards to the load sensor’s ability to weigh the balls and send this information to the Arduino. The physical design structure (funnel, feed ramp and selector disc) is also evaluated. Sorting capabilities are not tested. 4.2. RESULTS The balls had to be individually loaded into the device because the funnel was unable to handle the simultaneous loading of all the…

Assessment: Assessment Analysis #4 Carson was given a Cloze Assessment, a retelling assessment, and The Index of Reading Awareness. On the Cloze assessment there were 50 blank spaces for Carson to fill in with an appropriate word. I scored his responses and only counted the verbatim answers. He made a total of 17 mistakes. This puts his percentage at 34%. The score puts this passage at the frustration reading level. Carson completed a written retell of the fifth grade passage, Mario’s Lunch.…

address the explanations for these reason why our body react a certain way toward salsa. I thought it was all right for a person to feel that way. However, it wasn’t that case so we did an experiment on the real reason behind why our body perform a certain way. For this reason, the guideline behind this experiment is to check whether every individual body temperature reacts the same. We never thought about spicy food can help our body in ways like in the treatment of dermatological,…

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…
