Data can be obtained from observational studies‚ experiments‚ or surveys. This article is devoted mainly to controlled experiments. However‚ it also explains observational studies and how they differ from surveys.

Title: An investigation into the impact of group pressure on an individual’s estimate of the amount of beads in a pot (ginger granules in a jar). IV = Group/Individual DV = Individual beads estimate Abstract This experiment investigated the impact of group pressure on the individual. The hypothesis is that group pressure does indeed impact on the individual and in this case the individual’s estimate of the number of ginger granules in a jar. Participants were asked to make a judgement of

Crater Design Experiment Aim: To see how the height in which the ball is dropped from affects the depth of the crater. Hypothesis: I predict that as the height in which the ball is dropped from increases‚ so does the depth of the crater (the data will be directly proportional). The scientific knowledge which supports this is that the golf ball has a gravitational potential energy which increases as the ball is dropped from higher heights. When the height increases the ball gains more gravitational

Chemistry Lab Report Stoichiometry Design Experiment Percentage Yield of Calcium Carbonate and HCl I. Background Information When marble chips and hydrochloric acid are added together‚ they form sodium chloride‚ water‚ and carbon dioxide. This reaction can be displayed by the balanced equation below; CaCO3 (s) + HCl (l) NaCl(s) + H2O(l) + CO2 (g) As the carbon dioxide is formed‚ it will leave the open beaker as a gas. This will result in a loss of mass. The mass change can then be

Introduction Milgram Experiment Method 40 men were recruited for a lab experiment investigating “learning”. In exchange for their participation‚ each person was paid $4.50. After the WWII‚ Stanley Milgram a psychologist of Yale University posed a question‚ “Could it be that Eichmann and his million accomplices in the Holocaust were just following orders? Could we call them all accomplices? These men were introduced to another participant who were actually actors. These men were given role

Aim: the aim of this experiment is to evaluate the effect that sodium chloride has on the rate of corrosion of iron. 1. Experiment 1 2. Hypothesis: An increase in the level of sodium chloride in water will increase the rate of corrosion of an iron nail. 3. The independent variable is the amount of sodium chloride

Essential Characteristics of Experimental Research * Experiments differ from other types of research in two basic ways ― comparison of treatments and the direct manipulation of one or more independent variables by the researcher. Randomization * Random assignment is an important ingredient in the best kinds of experiments. It means that every individual
