Hypothesis

method will help them with the numerous experiments we will do throughout the year. Knowing first off to identify the problem, then to ask a question following up by doing research will follow them throughout life experiences. They then can make a hypothesis, and conduct experiments, following up by collecting and analyzing data. Drawing their conclusion and sharing their results concludes the scientific…

Purpose/Rationale The purpose of this experiment is to find out what liquid out of coke, coffee or tea will stain an eggshell the most. I chose to so this project because I think that it can help people who have problems with their teeth not being clean. They may find out why their teeth are staining so bad. Coke, coffee and tea can do a bunch of damage. But in this experiment I wanted to know the exact percentage of staining that they may cause. I think that learning how much a everyday drink…

first is that as low tide gets closer, the birds become further away and thus harder to see. This variable may have been influenced by the amount of visibility and thus a more powerful spotting scope is recommended for future studies. The second hypothesis is that as the birds migrated, there were less present and therefore it took a quicker amount of time to count the amount of birds and thus there might be a relation between the birds migrating and quicker sampling times which could have been…

Social Interaction and its Effects on a Novel Object Recognition Test There are many different ways to test memory and approach behavior, but one of the most popular for rat models is the novel object recognition test. The novel object recognition test is a simple behavioral analysis of memory that is influenced by a rat’s natural exploratory behavior. The test is a simple analysis because there is generally an absence of outside rules or reinforcement at baseline. Outside influences can be…

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…

My STEAM Expo experiment was testing which hamster food gives hamsters the most energy to hamsters. I tested three store brand foods: Carefresh Complete, Sunseed, and Nibble Rings. I also tested one that I made based off of the research that I did prior to the experiment. I thought that this project was perfect for my three hamsters, because they are all very tired and lazy. I also think that other people can use my type of food so that their hamsters can be energetic, too. I observed the…

The author of “Anomaly and the Emergence of Scientific Discoveries” discusses the difficulty that arises when trying to acknowledge an idea as a discovery. The questions raised are: when something is discovered, who made the discovery, is there record of who/when a discovery was made, and when is an idea actually a discovery. Kuhn advances the idea of a discovery by connecting it to the creation of a scientific revolution. He discusses that “a discovery begins with the awareness of anomaly”…

which is a key focus in the experiment conducted. Natural Selection is a mechanism of evolution that has been influenced by politics, social factors and technology, contributing factors to both the structure and perception of natural selection. Hypothesis: That the red frogs will be the most popular lolly in the experiment. Materials: Material Picture One Banana Lolly One Milk Bottle Lolly One Spearmint Leaf Lolly One Chico Lolly One Red Frog Lolly A4 Cardboard…

“R”Rovers are an important part of our lives. They allow us to see beyond our earth. We made our rovers to help us understand the scientific process and how to create an experiment. Making this rover also refreshed our memory of the concept of elastic energy. Not to rub it in your face, but EarthToy Designs enlisted in our help to design this rover, too. They asked us to make a rover that can be adjusted to go different distances. Of course, we have to think about the environment while making…

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…
