Experiment

In the 1930s, Dr. Ingle and his team set up a series of experiments in order to better understand the working relationship between the pituitary and adrenal glands. They hypothesized that the release of cortin from the adrenal cortex was regulated by the anterior lobe of the pituitary. At the time, it was established that treating animals with high doses of cortin caused the adrenal cortex to regress, and that the same effect was also observed when mice were hypophysectomized. Dr. Ingle…

Horrors of Animal Testing 100 million animals are killed each year for medical training, biology lessons, experiments and commercial testing. They are usually are mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish and birds. But when companies and scientists experiment on them, the tests are sometimes really brutal and inhumane. Animal testing and experimentation has to end. Animal testing is a big problem, because the animals are sometimes…

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…

I have also learned that it can get very complicated if safety measures are not taken. Planning ahead of time for extraneous variables, and possible mistakes is critical to attain accurate results. Also, because psychology is a social science, experiments do not work the same way in this area as they do in chemistry, which I have taken. In chemistry, the results are predictable, and controlled. In psychology, if we are measuring a…

For Alix, it began in high school when she attempted to please her ruthless coach and become better in figure skating (“Stories of Hope”). For Laura, it was the thin models in the media that caught her eye and go down a dangerous road (“Stories of Hope”). For Patrick, it was to gain control of his life after the continuous disappointments in life (“Male Athlete Speaks Out”). Based on South Carolina Department of Mental Health, about 8 million people throughout America suffer from eating…

theory by testing a dual-processing theory of working memory” (Mayer & Moreno, 1998). They tested this through two separate experiments. In the first experiment, Mayer and Moreno hypothesized that the…

Discussion of the Results and the Scientific Explanation The purpose of this experiment was to identify an unknown compound and discover its properties by devising experimental designs that enable for its identification (Cooper, 2009). Fifteen possible compounds were given, and a series of qualitative tests were used to eliminate the different possibilities and identify the specific unknown compound. These tests included a solubility test, which determines whether the compound is soluble in…

“It is the weight, not numbers of experiments that is to be regarded”1. As Sir Isaac Newton, one of the most influential scientists in history, states – the design of an experiment is very important. Therefore, aspiring scientists must learn about many different types of techniques and its applications. Over the past six weeks, students were exposed to six experts discussing different fields of research but their studies contained many overlapping qualities. Some common topics discussed were…

more about curing diseases that are fatal to humans. There must be a middle ground to the rules of animal testing that would keep the animal from unnecessary suffering, but would allow the scientist to continue the use of animals to proceed with experiments. There are pros and cons to animal research, but when you are looking at saving human lives, the pros outweigh the cons. If there are no other alternatives to finding a cure for a disease, animals should be used for experimental research.…

Employees working for a large government office report fatigue and lack of motivation around 2:00 pm each day. An experiment could test if 15 minutes of walking, during the morning break and during the afternoon break, would decrease these symptoms. The control group would not be active during breaks and experimental group will walk. Each would then self-report fatigue. Participants will be broken into two groups randomly. The experimental group will take fifteen-minute break in the morning at…
