The website animal-test.procon.org shares how animals are being treated in the Draize Acute Toxicity test. The supposed reason for this experiment is to see if there is irritation caused by shampoos or other cosmetic products. The test involves “…scientists use clips to hold a rabbits’ eyelid open for multiple days, so they cannot blink when products are being tested” (animal-test.procon.org)…

Using experiments to validate scientific findings has not always been the universal concept that it is today. During the Aristotelian era, experimentation was not considered necessary because many people believed Aristotle’s ideas were sound in logic and need not be proven any other way. However, beginning in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, experimentation became more important to philosophers such as Blaise Pascal, William Harvey, and Robert Hooke. These men had opinions of their own…

during the experiment was a weak correlation. This is because two variables have increased whereas the other two variables have decreased (Simpson, 2013). As shown in the graph in the results section, it can be seen that the times 20 seconds and 80 seconds are above the trend line and 40 secs and 60 secs are below the trend line. This therefore makes it a weak correlation, as there is no significant trend that can be seen that shows it is a positive trend line. Our hypothesis of our experiment…

Accidents don’t usually lead to great discoveries. Almost all inventions ever made had a mistake involved. Mistakes make us work harder to find something or to make something work. Mistakes help people invent something or make discoveries. Mistakes are key to making discoveries. A mistake from a man named, Percy Spencer, invented the microwave after he accidently left a chocolate bar in his pocket and it melted. When Percy was young he worked in a brand new world of electrical engineering. When…

As stated by Professor Charles R Magel,“Ask the experimenters why they test on animals and the answer is: ‘Because animals are like us’. Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals and the answer is ‘Because the animals are not like us’. Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction” (Source #4). Scientists believe that animals are more similar to us in body anatomy and biology than personality. However, they’re more like us human in a sense of consciousness…

sampling; posters were distributed to the schools and interested students signed in the principal’s office. The methods section discussed how the experiment was conducted; the participants were given stories that incorporated two genres. Half of the participants were given the story to read, while the other half learned the story verbally. The experiment was later conducted in three fold; (Participants’ had different stories but the same genres’ each testing time). First part was immediate…

Goals The goal of the lab was to investigate the properties and structure of an unidentified compound that was discovered in a local landfill. The group was called in to help determine the chemical and physical properties of the compound so we can let the people of the town know so it can be taken care of properly with or without further precautions to be taken. Another goal of this project was to devise the synthesis of the unknown compound. Experimental Design In order to determine the…

In order to complete this experiment, students had to provide a great amount of focus and a good understanding of the procedures, which were, along with the materials, very detailed. With this being said, because most of the materials had similar names, it was important for students to not manipulate the lab by mixing up the reagents, which would completely ruin the experiment. The important factors that influenced the success of this experiment included the following: 1) 100% transfer, 2) 100%…

Question • How can you design an investigation to observe the effects of caffeine on homeostatis? Perform and Record 1. A double-blind research is an analysis in which either the participants or the experimenters know who is receiving a particular treatment. This practice is used to prevent bias in research results. A double-blind investigation is practical in this case because it is always important to make sure that bias work is not used. 2. The accomplishment of research involving the use of…

First of all, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a science enthusiast. I love doing all the cool experiments and learning about the planets and Earth. I have been homeschooling this year and it is not very fun. I usually can’t do any of the science experiments because we don’t have all the right materials, which is very disappointing since my science lesson is my favorite part of the day. I’ve loved reading since I was a little girl and I would always choose books that would teach…
