Hypothesis

normal term theory, a scientific theory must be backed by evidence. In general, the term theory suggests an idea with evidence or proof to back it up. A hypothesis is an idea that hasn’t been proven yet and, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, every scientific theory begins as a hypothesis. If evidence is then accumulated to support the hypothesis, then is begins a theory as it has evidence to support the belief. Evidence linked to theory can involve observations, experiments and…

The scientific method is a procedure that is used by scientists now and in the past, dating back to the seventeenth century. The scientific method consists of observation, measurement, and experiment, and the creation and testing of hypotheses. There are several steps and different components to the scientific method that will (hopefully) answer the scientists’ questions, by the completion of the experiment. There are countless different reasons as to why a scientist would use the…

Support the implications of the study, etc.? Explain your rationale. I believe the evidence provided by the authors was sufficient enough to support a part of the authors hypothesis. The directional hypothesis the authors included in the research was teacher’s positive beliefs and knowledge about ADHD would positively correlate with the use of effective classroom practices. The authors found significant correlation between teachers’ beliefs…

Discussion: My first hypothesis that the sepia eye and ebony body experimental cross would result in a 9:3:3:1 ratio, and that the traits would be autosomal, unlinked recessive, was found to be false. I chose to reject my hypothesis because my calculated test statistic, 587.5, was larger than the critical value, 7.815. The traits, ebony and sepia, are linked, seeing that they fit in 2:1:1 linkage ratio and that the recombinant number is smaller (Table 1.1). They are autosomal; the amount of…

This has five steps, in order: observation, hypothesis, data collection, analysis of data, and conclusion. Observation is someone noticing something is happening, which leads into hypothesis. This happens after observation and it is taking an educated guess at what is causing something to happen. This then causes an experiment to be formed to test the hypothesis, which has data collected from the experiment. Then, based off of the data, it is analyzed…

A ball, and a feather dropped at the same height will hit the ground at the same time when placed in a vacuum space. This is because acceleration of motion is the same for both object, and in this experiment, we are going to calculate accelerated motion using inclined planes. In this experiment, we will see whether “distance traveled is directly proportional to the square of the time”, and “if speed of a falling object depend only on the height from which it falls”. This experiment will give us…

their situation. The control lacked this aspect and therefore, only had reading and writing exercises. After that, they are given a social stress test and measured their autonomic recovery after the test. In this experiment, the result supports the hypothesis, in which incremental-theory participants has an improved cognitive and behavioral response to stressors. While there was not any significant changes between incremental theory and control group, incremental theory performed better on the…

This part of the experiment will include the what the over all problem is. I will also be taking about the data I found along with the hypothesis and experiments to find my conclusion. As you saw in my example above I stated that my problem was the missing wallet. In this experiment my problem is trying to find what design is in this black box. In order for me to get to my conclusion I have…

table. 5)Measure 400mL of water with a graduated cylinder. 6)Add it to your cup. 7)Carefully place your egg in the cup and allow it to sit for 24 hours. 7)Hypothesize what you think will happen to the size of the egg and record in a data table. Hypothesis Vinegar- If an egg is placed in vinegar, then the mass of the egg will increase because the shell will soften. Syrup- If the egg is placed in syrup, then the mass will restore to normal because the syrup is thick and it will push the…

Introduction The most recognizable characteristic in the Buceros rhinoceros is the casque above the bill. Buceros rhinoceros species are part of the family Bucerotidae which are omnivorous birds that defend a fixed territory (Kitamura, 2011). In this species we can identify sexual dimorphism. As it can be noticed by pure observation, there is a few differences between sexes. The most significant detectable variations are body and casque length. Adult males show both larger bodies and casques…
