The Experiment

In 258 BC, a Greek physician and scientist named Aristotle did experiments on living animals. The experiments that Aristotle did was never for medical research. Instead it was to gain knowledge about animals. However in 199 AD another Greek physician named Galen did animal experiments, but only to advance his understanding for science. Also, during the twelfth century there was an Arab physician named Zuhr that did animal experiments for testing surgical procedures. Around the mid-1800s medical…

The purpose of the experiment was to determine the rate of osmosis using the dialysis tubing, and to further explain the importance of osmosis in living organisms. As the sugar water concentration increases in the dialysis tubing, and the beaker concentration consisting of tap…

hypothesized that pill bugs would display a positive hydrotaxis and a negative chemotaxis, but our last experiment supports a reaction to chemotaxis. Since we placed them in a tray with all chemical-filled chambers, we weren’t able to tell if they drift towards diluted solutions because they contained more water. The products of the Chi Square Test told us whether the results of our experiments were significant or not. Our results in Part A and B were significant because the calculations proved…

By definition, animal testing is any scientific experiment in which a live animal undergoes testing for human products in a lab. Since 384 B.C, animals such as mice, have been used for testing. In more recent years, scientists have used these animals to test the safety of human products. There are many great benefits to this scientific practice. High end makeup brands, such as: Urban Decay, MAC, and NARS, ensure the safety of their products by testing on animals. Furthermore, mice are used in…

be used to prove a cause-and-effect relationship. The only research design that allows researchers to infer causation is experimental designs. Therefore, in order to prove (or disprove) a causal relationship between vitamins and crime rates, an experiment must be designed. One of the key principles in statistics is “correlation does not equal causation.” Any two independent variables could happen to be correlated, but that does not show a cause-and-effect relationship between the two variables.…

Hypothesis- Science Fair Name: Gustavo Hernandez Date: Nov.28.2015 Partner: N/A Experimental Question, Independent Variable, and Dependent Variable: Do video games affect memory? Memory is an incredible thing and some parts of it we do not even understand, so in this new era with video games rising in popularity and being in many different households do video games affect gaming? The testing will be done by manipulating a game playing time between studying and taking a quiz. A test subject will…

methods are used frequently in studies of this nature. On top of these two strengths, the compliance of this study was also one hundred percent. Participant’s compliance during the study provides the most precise data possible. Like most of the experiments used, the sample size could be larger. A larger sample size that also includes women would make the study more generalizable to the public. Having such a small sample size and a short trial period prevents the researchers from finding further…

were used in a psychological experiment to see how half the group responded to being belittled about speech. This resulted in permanent mental damage for some of the children; therefore the scientists of the experiment attempted to cover it up. (Frater 1) Every year, doctors continue to perform unethical experiments endangering a…

scientists continue to use defenseless animals for not only experiments for the good of mankind, but also for cosmetics tests and other nonessential products. Not only are these acts morally wrong, but they also have been, on many occasions, proven to be ineffective, and even though there are better, safer ways to experiment, animal cruelty continues to be the first choice when testing products. While scientists continue to run experiments and tests on innocent creatures, people across the…

An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump is a painting by Joseph Wright of Derby (An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump). Painted in 1768, oil paint on canvas, it serves to express the Industrial Revolution (An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump). The painting’s dimensions are 183 centimeters tall and 244 centimeters wide (An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump). This paper’s purpose will be to analyze and interpret not only Wright’s art, but his life and era as well in an effort to…
