Be sure to eat a healthy breakfast on test days. Something small like fruit or yogurt can suffice. If you're hungry, you won't be able to think straight. Your low energy can substantially influence your performance. Eat breakfast to stay focused and energized.…
In Whoriskey’s article, “Science of breakfast: how nutritionists might have gotten it wrong”, the central idea is that scientific claims should be backed by strong experimental data, rather than weak observational data. This idea develops over the course of the text as the author introduces the notion that skipping breakfast can make you fat, then provides various studies that contradict that statement. On page 2, in the study led by the US Dietary Guidelines, out of 20,000 male men, those who ate breakfast were 13% less likely to gain weight. Within the study, while it may seem that skipping breakfast is unhealthy, the experiment itself was an observational study, in which those who did skip breakfast, tended to drink more, smoke more, exercise…

The purpose of my experiment was to change my study habits. Before beginning the assignment I started off only studying my classwork for about 1 to 2 hours a day. I readily noticed that this behavior needs to change to at least 3 to 4 hours a day, so I figured out a plan. The basic approach I used to change this behavior was to start going to the library more often rather than leaving and going straight home after class. I also started taking better class notes so that I could have something to review over than just my text book. By me putting in more hours of study time I should see a better outcome in my grades by the end of the semester.…
You are in the middle of the basketball court, and a sweat slowly runs down your cheeks. You are tired from running back and forth, jumping up and down, and passing the basketball to different players, but the thing is, it is barely the first quarter. Before the game had started, you had ingested a bottle of coke, but was that the right decision? Could have drinking something else make you a better player? Most importantly, which beverage helps your athletic performance the most? If you drink different beverages before exercising, then you will do better with Gatorade.…
teacher decided to construct an experiment on the students to see how they would react. The…
In order to carry out the project a lot of background research was done to understand whether it would work. One psychologist Holland et al was interested in examining if it would be possible to change the behaviour and attitudes with respect of participants eating patterns. He went on to carry out a similar project in regards to healthy snacking through paired food and whether negative consequences formed, for instance obesity. His project showed how unhealthy snacks and healthy snacks had an impact on the individual and he therefore went on to show the 132 participants split into two groups a slide show of cakes and biscuits, the control group with images and blank slides and the experimental group with images on the screen. It was…
Chapter 9 readings this week is about experiments. The learning objectives in this chapter are the used for experimentation, advantages and disadvantages of the experiment method, seven steps of a well-planned experiment, internal and external validity with experiment research designs, and the three types of experiment designs and the variations of each. In chapter 9 experiments is defined as the studies involving intervention by the researcher beyond that required for measurement (McGraw-Hill Company).…
Instructions: This is a group activity that you will start in class and complete at home. For each of the following, note, whether the research design used is an experiment, a quasi-experiment, or a correlational approach and why. If a study is an experiment, identify the independent variable and the dependent variable. Please type your answers in complete sentences.…
2. Professor Taylor provides a review session for half the students taking Psychology 101. Later he compares their test scores against those of the other students. What is the dependent variable in this experiment?…
This project has had a tremendous impact on me as a professional educator, as it has given me the opportunity to develop the skills necessary for effective classroom research and instruction. It has taught me how to effectively implement research-based practices in the classroom, collect data on a target behavior…
Research can confirm its importance in adolescent’s health, academic achievement, cognitive development, and mental health (Benefits of Eating Breakfast) The way breakfast can do this is because it provides important daily nutrients such as protein, fiber, calcium, and carbohydrates. According to the Food and Nutrition service the nutrients that breakfast provides improves school performance, which allows students to do better in all aspects of their education (Benefits of Eating Breakfast). Breakfast gives the body the fuel it needs every day to do better in school and life. But with so little time in the morning and being rushed to make it on time to school, many have to skip breakfast just because school starts so…

If a study is an experiment, identify the independent variable and the dependent variable. Submit the worksheet answers to the dropbox by the due date in the schedule. Save as a Word document before submission. Submit polished written work, free of errors.…
Overall I think the biggest takeaway I have from this experience is how to articulate your ideas and provide evidence. I have only ever done experiments where there is a definitive right or wrong answer. In this research, there is a little bit of a grey area as long as you are able to adequately defend your answer and communicate it to others. However, there are still some answers that are absolutely incorrect. Another skill I was able to further develop is how to respectfully disagree. I love debating with people so I have really enjoyed talking about differences in results with fellow…
To perform the experiment, the researcher must organize the material to perform the experiment from the people who must perform the research. Recruit volunteers whose behavior would be observed and randomly assigned each of these volunteers to an experimental group. The experiment is performed and observations recorded. The hypothesis is evaluated by examining the data from the study to determine whether the results support the hypothesis or whether they suggest that it is wrong. Finally the results are communicated to the experimenters who have learned something about causes of behavior in research.…
