Experiment

article “Goals: An Approach to Motivation and Achievement” they focus on two very contrasting reactions to failure. They go through and give you extreme detail on what their experiment entailed, interesting findings, and what they ended up concluding at the end of the study. Elliott and Dweck’s center of attention in this experiment was to test their hypothesis that different goals set up the observed helpless and mastery-oriented patterns. They suggest that individuals seek two major goals…

they live in that might or might not led them learn more. Another implication for the study is that when the study was conducted the subject where already half way through learning and maybe the results were not affected or were affected by the experiment. Another implication for the study is that they only limited themselves to a small (one are or school district) that its results might not apply to all. My reactions to the study are sort of on the personal point of view because I do think that…

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…

been experiments that have been run. The academic article has explanations of experiments with who participated, the materials used, and the procedure all clearly laid out. The academic article gives straight facts after nicely showing how and why something is true. At the end, when the results were given, and the researchers had to draw their conclusions, not only did they state their conclusion but they also stated the possible biases and errors that may have occurred within the experiment.…

administered to the group. The results from this study suggested that children were able at detecting changes in stimuli of numbers as opposed to letters. Also, change detection, and working memory increased alongside the ages of the children. This experiment gives precedence to the fact that change detection is correlated with age and stimuli type (numbers vs.…

The purpose of this experiment was to analyze meso- and microzooplankton feeding. Largely due to size differences, mesozooplankton (>140 μm) are important exporters of carbon and prey for larger organisms, while microzooplankton (100–140 μn) are important recyclers of nutrients, dominant grazers of phytoplankton, and key link in the microbial loop (Conroy et al., 2016; Uitto and Hallfors, 1996). Therefore, understanding this relationship between zooplankton and grazing will allow scientists…

Field experiments can likely replicate real life due to its natural setting as opposed to in the laboratory where ecological validity is less likely. However, demand characteristics and researcher bias may pose a problem for accurate…

Many claims of where life originated can be dismissed, such as many religious answers, because they lack scientific evidence. Therefore, this paper will focus solely on theories that are substantiated with evidence. The three most prominent and well supported theories argue that life came to existence inside hydrothermal vents, hydrothermal impact crater-lakes, and terrestrial, anoxic geothermal vents; these theories claim that life originated inside Earth and this notion is well supported. The…

name of science.” However, a lot of these experiments are conducted under terrible conditions, and the results cannot even be applied to human medicine and health. Also, with all of the advancements in technology we have made in recent years, we have plenty of alternative testing methods that we could use instead of animal experimenting. In experiments, animals are treated as just test subjects…

The goal of this experiment was to use chemistry to analyze an unknown compound and through testing its physical and chemical properties determine what unknown compound that was found in a landfill. This would benefit the Environmental Protection Agency because once they know what the substance was they could determine the best way to remove it from the landfill and if there were any potential safety hazards to beware of while handling the substance. This would prevent any accidents that may…
