A Bird’s Eye View of the Gender Specific Parade Day Experience The following reports on the behavior of female University of Scranton student’s interactions and behaviors during the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade festivities, relative to their male counterparts. Reader discretion is highly advised. This study was conducted from the not so structurally sound observational deck of an old apartment’s window fire escape. The investigators consumed approximately two, twelve ounce Blue Moon bottles for…

logic and thinking of ways of making things better or making things work and coming up with a solution is using the Scientific method. The scientific method enables us to observe, ask questions, develop a hypothesis, test your hypothesis, observe the results, come to a conclusion about your hypothesis and report your findings (Hess, 2007). As I am driving to work I hear a small ding noise come on. I look down and realize that I am low on gas. My job is approximately 4 miles…

Experiment 1: Observing The Familiar The skill of keen observation is vital in all educational subjects and in all aspects of life. The ability to describe and learn from observations undoubtedly results in a more educated, insightful, and inquisitive outlook. In science, observation is essential to the analytical process and in the findings of solutions for the world’s most perplexing issues. During this experiment an observation was conducted of a single ice cube in water. While confounding,…

Does being in a single-gendered classroom increase girls’ math achievement? In these two research studies I am going to see if that statement appears to be true. In the studies I will include students from both a single-gendered classroom and a co-ed classroom. Since I grew up going to a co-ed school, I am very interested in seeing the results. I hope that these two studies will benefit parent’s decisions on whether or not they will send their girls to a single-gendered school. In my…

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…

For my clinical observation, I observed Shivanni. She is in a self-contained preschool classroom with six other children. I have seen many instances where she has grown in her development and I have also notice some instances where she has stayed the same. She mostly keeps to herself and seldom talks. Since Shivanni is in a self contain room, I have decided to take notes on the different developmental areas instead of using the rating scale. Her scores were all very low, so I took notes about…

scientific method, government would first have to conduct research about people’s wages. This may require comparing different jobs, hours, and incomes. Next, they would have to come up with a hypothesis such as the main reason why it might be happening or what they can do to reduce the wage gap. After forming the hypothesis, government would have to test it by changing what it is they think is mainly causing the wage gap and observe whether that change was beneficial or not. Afterwards,…

Public opinion is, in many ways, like science. A scientist will hear about or notice something and form an opinion. Good scientists will then continue to look into it to prove or disprove their original opinion, while less determined scientists will stick with what they originally found. Public opinion follows a very similar path. From the early years of school, people are taught that Christopher Columbus is a hero to the people of America. Many accept this notion as it is taught and move on;…

encounters in Acheta domesticus? Experiment 2: Are there different ways to obtain quantitative behavioral data from crickets? Null Hypothesis: Experiment 1: There are not different behavioral patterns present during social encounters in Acheta domesticus. Experiment 2: There is no way to obtain quantitative behavioral data from crickets. Alternate Hypothesis: Experiment 1: There are different behavioral patterns present during social encounters in Acheta domesticus. Experiment 2: There…

introspection and learn more about themselves in the process, as their daily activities were interrupted so that they could accurately fill out the survey they were given at various intervals throughout the day. Throughout all four studies, the study’s hypothesis was correct each time, demonstrating that even though positivity reduced symptoms of depression in the beginning, in the long run, the symptoms increased and the participants were more likely to develop depression if they experienced…
