Random walk hypothesis

During three of my four years of high school I took various forms of a biology class, beginning with “Biology Honors” my freshman year and moving on to “IB Biology HL I” in my junior year, followed by “IB Biology HL II” senior year. I recall freshman year paying little to no attention to the lectures I received in class. Instead, I’d write down song lyrics in my biology notebook and talk to the friends sitting next to me. Every exposition on photosynthesis or Latin nomenclature sailed through…

Galileo vs. Plato: The Debate to Achieve Neutrality Whether it is democracy, electing officers, or asking the audience on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, people tend to trust masses. A possible reasoning behind this presumption is: if the majority people think something, then it is probably true or best. While some authors, historians, philosophers, and other such experts agreed with such though, others have attempted to come up with a different solution in finding what is best for society. In…

The question my group tried to answer was “Which protein solution contained protein, starch, and sugar, and if so how much?” The protein supplements we had were supplments 4 (Kroger Whey & Soy Protein- Vanilla),6 (Vega Protein and Greens) ,and 8 (Pure Protein Natural Whey Protein). We also had 3 reagents (Biuret’s, Lugol’s ,and Benedict’s). We had two different experiments, the first experiment was to get qualitative data. The second was to get quantitative date. The first experiment we tested…

It is difficult to describe the concept of scientific realism since there are many different views and variations of what it truly is. Through my research, I have found scientific realism to define as a belief that well-developed scientific theories are undoubtedly true, and that they work to explain the observable and unobservable aspects of the universe. There are many disagreements that center around whether scientific realism is plausible or not. I disagree with the idea of scientific…

F. Lin and James A. Kulik, the authors focus their research on media and peer influences. Their research question explores the media’s influence on individuals and the social comparison between how peers affect self-esteem amongst a group. Their hypothesis of the research says that women who are paired up with or in a group with a thinner peer are more likely to be affected negatively. They also hypothesize that women who have boyfriends are less likely to care about a thinner peer and have less…

Deese-Roedieger- McDermott Paradigm The Deese-Roedieger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm represents a strategy used to implant false memories even when information is not directly exposed to an individual (Watson, Poole, Bunting, & Conway, 2005). Roediger and McDermott (1995) adopted an experimental procedure originally developed by Deese (1959) who revealed that adults who studied a list of words were more likely to report a related word that was not presented. Deese was interested in testing…

LENGTH -WEIGHT RELATIONSHIP AND CONDITION FACTOR 6.1. INTRODUCTION Length-weight relationship studies of fishes are considered as an important tool for understanding of fish. Length is a linear measure (in centimeter) and the weight of a fish (in gram) is approximately equal to its volume (cubic centimeter). Hence, weight of a fish is a function of length. The relationship can be expressed by the hypothetical…

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…

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…

The importance of achieving a holistic overview of the skills, perceptions and attitudes of the child is paramount when gaining an understanding of the developmental levels (EE, 2012), thus enabling the pedagogy to plan and provide a stimulating environment within which the individual child can learn. To obtain such information Howe & Davies (2010) concurred by Bradley et al (2011) refer to the Montessori theory highlighting the importance of observing the child in a variety of naturalistic…
