Melissa Puentes Ms. Vinson English 4 DC- Period 7 April 4, 2015 Animal Experimentation When one speaks of animal testing, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Do you agree or disagree with the use of animals for human purpose? Animal testing has been a long heated topic for many years. Many claim that it is for the better good and it’s justified, while others say that it can be replaced and is cruel and unjust. Animal testing, or animal experimentation, is the use of animals to test…

would perform experiments on these animals. Animals have been tested on for developments…

used. For the experiment, the maximum temperature that was tested was 50oC, this is due to the potential of breaking the test tubes due to the extreme heat. The use of the same brand of thermometer to avoid error between the manufacturing of the thermometer could have produced more reliable and valid results. Each group should have tested the equipment before hand to see whether there was any differences with the thermometer and timer. Furthermore, a limitation within the experiment is the…

therefore, they were not very strong, and were probably a lot slower than some of the later inventions, which were made out of iron, and drawn by horses rather than oxen. The next 'stage' of the Agricultural Revolution was all to do with…

With such vast areas, specifically of the US Corn Belt, dedicated to agricultural production it is imperative that we as a society approach this endeavor cautiously. One approach to agriculture often cited as having the potential to produce the food, feed, and fiber necessary to sustain us with minimal disturbance to surrounding ecosystems is referred to as conservation agriculture (CA). CA as defined by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), is an approach to…

In these camps “the death rates were so high, from malnutrition, typhus and exhaustion that the disposal of corpses became a serious problem.” (THE CAMPS) The treatment in transporting and caring for the victims is probably one of the main factors in the dehumanization of people during Holocaust. The victims were treated inferior simply because of their nationality. The Nazi’s made it a point to degrade these people in every way possible by taking away their rights and free will.…

graduates must have “an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data”. Engineers typically perform one of three types of experiments: a. A theoretical relationship between two or more variables is already known (or at least suspected) and an experiment is needed to verify or quantify this relationship. b. A theoretical relationship between two or more variables is not available but rather sought through an experiment. c. A new product is being developed…

In the study about the new therapy technique for depression, the confounds that might have impacted the findings were maturation and mortality effect. The mortality effect refers to any loss of participants from your sample. The health magazine state that out of the 50 subjects, only 29 were left after nine months. It would be difficult to determine the impact of the technique on the subjects, because the people that dropped out may have represented an important subgroup in a larger population…

lesson plan will deliver instructions; they may not stray away from the script. The script and lesson plan will have all the material and information laid out; therefore, there is little confusion. Conclusion I believe that the results from the experiment will show the positive effects of using a bullying prevent program. If the results are positive, they will reduce the amount of victimization children feel and behavioral risk that cause bullying. If the results are negative then I would…

make sure you discuss 2 threats to internal validity and 1 threat to external validity] (25 points) Pros and cons to research strategy and design: Conducting a field experiment is beneficial because it would allow for experimenters to see how subjects respond to the experiment in a natural context. Although utilizing a lab experiment instead may have allowed for better control in order to better to determine causation. Using a static group comparison can be beneficial in regards to determining…
