9 Year Old Conservation
The idea of conservation is when someone changes the shape of the substance in which it does not change the amount volume or mass. This is to see if children can think logically. In the experiment there is going to be two girls that are going to be tested over one 9 year and 13 year old. My prediction is that the 9 year old will not be able to conserve.
The first experiment was using the 9 year girl. The experimenter first pour the same amount for each cup then ask the participant if there is the same amount of juice. The 9 year old says that “They are both the same”. For the second experiment was using the short and long container. The short container was pour into the longer container. Then the experimenter ask the 9 year old girl if there is the same amount of juice? The 9 year old girl that “they both have the same amount of juice”.

I did the same experiment with the 13 year old and the child responds the same thing.
The 9 year old is in the Concrete Operational stage and the 13 year old is in the formal operational stage for Piaget’s theory. The 9 year old is still in middle childhood and the 13 year old is in the adolescent stage. The 9 year old child can think logically and they can order things from least to greatest but, they can not think abstract yet. The 13 year old can think abstract and think more about complicated stuff.
The experiment is between two children one 9 year old and one 13 year old doing the conservation task. Conservation is when you change the shape but, you do not change the amount of the

    In this experiment, both the control and the experimental groups will be tested in similar conditions which include temperature, geographic location, resources available, and species diversity and richness of the areas in which the experiments are taking place. The variable which will be tested is the presence of oak trees. Therefore, the experimental group will have the oak trees removed while, the control group will have the oak trees present. For the experiment, we will observe these groups on a weekly basis for two months. If in the experimental group, the population of the robins were to show a decline while population of the control group would remain at a steady pace over the two month span then my hypothesis would be proven correct. But if results of the experiment were to show the population size of the experimental group have similar numbers with the control group or show the control group's robin population decrease more than the experimental group then my hypothesis would be…

    This experiment has been carried out to observe whether the hamster prefers organic or conventional foods better. Hammy was put into the place where there were two identical pieces of food, one organic, one conventional and it gets to choose either of them to eat. The reason hamster is used instead of the human is because it is unbiased, it judges the food from the smells unlike human that we have more complex thinking and tends to be considering about other things. Also, the human body is not good at smelling. This data have been recorded down every time and-and the experiment has been repeated using the same hamster for several times in every kind of food. (Ken) From the information written on the website so far, I can only tell that this hamster was a female hamster, but the age can not be identified. (Ken) As a result of this experiment, the majority of the food Hammy has chosen were organic. However,…

    The aim of this experiment was to determine the effect of music and age on STM (WM). The results of the experiment were confirming the hypothesis to some extent. The hypothesis was that the older the subject conducting the experiment is, the higher the cognitive performance, which will result in a higher level in completing the task. Also the subjects will be distracted when the music is played. However, some of the results did not match the hypothesis; such as Group2 (Year 9 Newman) that completed the task and reached a higher level with the music rather without music. Also Group 3 (Year 11), the subjects in this group had different results as the ones expected. The expectation was that Group 3 will accomplish the highest levels of the game,…

    The last stage of Piaget’s cognitive development is known as the Formal Operational Stage, which occurs between the ages of eleven and sixteen. Adolescents have now gained the ability to think in an abstract matter, and can now understand things such as science and algebra. The most distinct difference between the Concrete Operational stage, and the Formal Operational stage, is known as inferential thinking. A child who needs to draw a picture or use objects is still in the Concrete Operational Stage, whereas a child who can reason an answer in their head in the Formal Operational stage. They can also formulate hypotheses and consider different possibilities. For example, a child who has progressed to this stage could now hypothesize what will happen to a plant in the absence of water.…
