This assignment called for me to pick three out of four sensory experiments to conduct and then record my reaction to each experiment. The three experiments I chose to conduct are number one- the sandpaper experiment‚ number three- the index cards and flashlight experiment and number four- the water in bowls experiment. While conducting each of these three experiments I was surprised by the results of each of them. Experiment Number One: I rubbed my finger on the piece of coarse sandpaper and

THE EXPERIMENTS Joseph Mengele was very interested in genetics‚ particularly in twins. He carried out various experiments and tests‚ which were brutal and absolutely ferocious. They shock me so much‚ I find it so hard to believe a man was capable of such ghastly‚ cruel and barbaric actions. Some people still live today‚ to tell the horrific‚ terrifying stories of Mengele… who have experienced his cruelty first hand. Below are some true stories I have heard about through documentaries I have studied

Introduction The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is a fast growing plant and is used commonly in experiments due to its easy testability. It can grow in a variety of conditions and is easy to see the effects of different treatments. The idea of the treatment that we applied to our bean plants came from our class and scientific papers that help back our experiment. Examining many studies on the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on a variety of plants helped us better understand what the fertilizer was

In May‚ 1962 an experiment was done at Yale University. The experiment was called Milgram’s Obedience to Authority. The participants of the experiment was forty males.

THE SUBJECT MATTER OF EXPERIMENTS A well-designed experiment tells us that changes in the explanatory variable cause changes in the response variable. More exactly‚ it tells us that this happened for specific subjects in the specific environment of this specific experiment. No doubt we had grander things in mind. We want to proclaim that our new method of teaching math does better for high school students in general or that our new drug beats a placebo for some broad class of patients. Can we

Success of Dugesia tigrina regeneration in different water temperatures Abstract: The experiment at hand aimed to determine if the species Duguesia tigrina has an optimal temperature for regeneration. The experiment used three different spring water treatments of different temperatures. The treatments included a cool 12° treatment‚ a room temperature 25° treatment‚ and a warm 30° treatment. Each of the D. tigrina were cut in half‚ and each half was placed into a designated section of a water treatment

Spirit Burner Experiment Aim: To perform an experiment in the labs to determine the heats of combustion of selected alcohols and then to use this information and the gathered data from chemical data sources to determine trends in the longer chain alcohols. The Variables that MUST be controlled throughout the experiment are: • The height from spirit burner nozzle to the base of the water filled beaker • Air drafts around the room must be kept to minimum so as to keep the heat on the base of the
