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…

The results obtained in this experiment correspond well with the expected outcomes. At 0oC, the product formed was white indicating that it must be cyclohexanone semicarbazone. This is further confirmed by the observed melting point of 166.5oC. These results deviate by only 0.5oC from the expected melting point of 166oC for this compound. This particular reaction is controlled kinetically and occurred because it had the smallest activation energy. Then after forming this compound, the reaction…

Hypothesis This study attempts to assess two research hypotheses. Our hypothesis answers the research question, what difference, if any, can be found between the two concentration when describing dissertation characteristics? Our first hypothesis (H1) states that clinical track dissertations are more likely to be experimental than administrative track dissertations. Our second hypothesis (H2) states administrative track dissertations are more likely to have advanced statistical analyses than…

A Bird’s Eye View of the Gender Specific Parade Day Experience The following reports on the behavior of female University of Scranton student’s interactions and behaviors during the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade festivities, relative to their male counterparts. Reader discretion is highly advised. This study was conducted from the not so structurally sound observational deck of an old apartment’s window fire escape. The investigators consumed approximately two, twelve ounce Blue Moon bottles for…

logic and thinking of ways of making things better or making things work and coming up with a solution is using the Scientific method. The scientific method enables us to observe, ask questions, develop a hypothesis, test your hypothesis, observe the results, come to a conclusion about your hypothesis and report your findings (Hess, 2007). As I am driving to work I hear a small ding noise come on. I look down and realize that I am low on gas. My job is approximately 4 miles…

Experiment 1: Observing The Familiar The skill of keen observation is vital in all educational subjects and in all aspects of life. The ability to describe and learn from observations undoubtedly results in a more educated, insightful, and inquisitive outlook. In science, observation is essential to the analytical process and in the findings of solutions for the world’s most perplexing issues. During this experiment an observation was conducted of a single ice cube in water. While confounding,…

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…

Introduction The experiment will be working with diffusion and osmosis; it will test if the starch will travel through the semi permeable membrane (dialysis tube) causing osmosis. Diffusion is when a substance is highly concentrated turns into a lower concentration, and is evenly distributed throughout. An example of diffusion is when you cook and the smell of food flows until it in dynamic equilibrium; which is the even distribution of the substance. Osmosis is the movement through a semi…

For my clinical observation, I observed Shivanni. She is in a self-contained preschool classroom with six other children. I have seen many instances where she has grown in her development and I have also notice some instances where she has stayed the same. She mostly keeps to herself and seldom talks. Since Shivanni is in a self contain room, I have decided to take notes on the different developmental areas instead of using the rating scale. Her scores were all very low, so I took notes about…

scientific method, government would first have to conduct research about people’s wages. This may require comparing different jobs, hours, and incomes. Next, they would have to come up with a hypothesis such as the main reason why it might be happening or what they can do to reduce the wage gap. After forming the hypothesis, government would have to test it by changing what it is they think is mainly causing the wage gap and observe whether that change was beneficial or not. Afterwards,…
