Theory When preforming an experiment using the scientific process one of the most essential components is comparing theory to actual measurements. This relies on the accuracy and uncertainty of the measurement itself. If an actual measurement proves the theory wrong it you must know the uncertainty so you can try to figure out where the error took place. Uncertainty can arise from a few different areas; they are statistical variation, measurement precision, or systematic error. Systematic…

1.0 Introduction The UK housing market has experienced substantial growth in the last one year.

Introduction The purpose of this project is to develop an understanding of effective schools using the characteristics identified in Correlates of Effective Schools written by Lawrence Lezotte (Lexotte, 1991). To examine the characteristics, a survey developed from the writing of Lezotte was given to educators at my school. Likewise, data was collected using the most recent literacy test in Florida to compare economically disadvantaged and non-economically disadvantaged. The significance of…

In this experiment, a participant was presented with multiple stimuluses consisting of different sized circles. The target circles ranged in size, with a radius of 10-, 30-, or 50-pixels, and the participant would then use a slider to adjust the matching circle to the size of the target circle. The target circle’s size varied from one trial to the next, with each size having a total of 10 trials, which made up the total sample size of 30 trials for each subject. For this experiment, the…

I did my math practicum in a sixth grade classroom over at Emerson Elementary. I had been doing some service learning hours at the beginning of the semester and observed quite a few math lessons. I then worked with a few students but focused specifically on just one for this practicum. He was a student that Mr. Craner said did well in math at times but has a hard time understand why. During my initial interview before I would teach the lessons, I had asked him if he could remember what they…

Introduction Prosopagnosia is a cognitive disorder in which facial recognition is impaired, while other aspects of visual processing remains intact (Gruter 2008). This disorder implies that the brain processes visual stimuli differently. Using the Memory Interference Test (MIT) aggregated database, students can formulate hypotheses based on demographics by studying the number of correct responses and mean reaction time by observing pre-calculated students t-test. This particular assessment…
