Hypothesis

from dirty hay and/or corn, and the list goes on. Many people used to believe in the theory of ‘Spontaneous generation’ because it explained such occurrences as the appearance of maggots on decaying meat. Spontaneous generation is the incorrect hypothesis that non-living things are capable of producing…

The most commonly reported problem associated with the early onset use of marijuana, is verbal memory deficits. These deficits can last up to six weeks after an individual stops using marijuana (Schweinsburg et al., 2008). The researchers conducting this study were trying to prove a connection between learning inefficiencies, and the memory deficits due to early onset marijuana use. The researchers believe that the verbal memory deficits are due to learning inefficiencies brought on by early…

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…

crawling to an upright walking position and the regular steps of infants on open grounds where they have to use natural locomotion, or the natural ability to move. This process is known as periodic gait. The experiment does not have a specific hypothesis because learning mechanisms…

in which these forms or ideas are imperfectly replicated. (Plato 15) After defining the nature of “science”, the trivial and missing parts are acquired easily through clear characteristic analysis. Plato’s philosophy inspired us to implement the hypothesis to our sensible world after observation and therefore identify the objects in order to scratch the picture in…

started by the teacher giving us the required materials. A student in the group drawn different lines with different colors. Another student put a termite on each different lines. At this point, we can formulate a hypothesis, which is that termites follow any line. To test our hypothesis, we placed a single termite at the beginning of a green line, blue and red. After an observation, we noticed the termite followed only the green line, from the beginning to the end. The last step of our…

Our hypothesis was that the number of students eating at Lane University Center would be greater than the number of students eating at Chesapeake dining hall. We made this hypothesis because we believed that Lane was the students’ favorite place to hang out. Since lane holds common fast food restaurants that almost all of us have been too we…

retreating back to the hypothesis. The hypothesis is a logical guess as to what may happen in your experiment and why it might be happening. It must be a testable and measurable statement, so that the scientist can either prove it wrong or right. For example, if the scientist that was investigating what the result will be when copper is heated at 1000 F* solely said “the result will be blue” it would not fall under the category of being and acceptable hypothesis. However, if the hypothesis was…

experiment could be performed to test that theory. In designing an experiment to test this theory, my research question would be “Does negative advertising cause individuals to vote against the political candidate attacked in the advertisement?” The hypothesis of the experiment would be “Negative advertising effectively causes individuals to vote against the political candidate attacked in the advertisement.”…

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…
