After spotting this same activity, the group always consisting of what seemed like different people yet always in the same location, I realized that it was not a…

method to determine the possible cause for two different scenarios. The scientific method allows a person to go through predictions, develop hypotheses and testing those hypotheses to determine if they are true or not. If the hypothesis proves not true, the next hypothesis testing begins until a proven determination is found. In the first scenario, I went into my kitchen to prepare breakfast for my family. Upon entering the kitchen, I proceeded to get the pans and bowls I would need out. I…

Furthermore, 2 controls were used because 2 experiments were conducted one containing a larger solution of C4 and the other containing a trace amount of C4. The hypothesis stated that if the zebrafish embryos were exposed to concentrations of C4, then there would be a higher mortality rate in the groups containing concentrations of C4. The hypothesis…

Reading is essential to a student’s success in school. Comprehension and speed in reading are important in standardised tests; ACT, SAT, etc. Since some colleges don’t accept certain scores, these tests all affect a student’s future. That’s why schools everywhere are trying to map out their students’ progression. They want to be certain that their teaching techniques are effective in all areas, especially reading. So, schools conduct tests to determine individuals’ progress by the end of the…

The researcher wanted to determine the…

A weakness in this experimental design is the manual dilution of the Aquasol concentrations. This is because, if a random error were to occur, and the diluted Aquasol concentration does not result in the desired concentration, the validity, reliability, and precision of the results is majorly decreased. Whereas if the Aquasol concentrations were already previously diluted in a lab by professionals, or were bought in the correct concentrations, the reliability, validity, and precision of the…
