The Betta Fish Behavior and Effects Abstract The reason for this experiment was to test the agonistic behavior in the male Betta fish. The experiment was conducted by making puppets and showing a mirror image to the the fish; then we could record how fish responded to the stimuli. The hypothesis was supported by the experiment‚ and our group concluded that a fish feels his zone is being invaded when being tailed around by a mirror model puppet.

put 10 Pill Bugs in the opening between the two circles‚ and timed them for one minute. This gave them time to choose dish 1 or dish 2. We then counted the number of Pill Bugs in each circle. We did this 3 times. This was the control group in the experiment. Then we changed the independent variable: the environment in each of the dishes. In dish 1‚ we took strips of paper and

LAB #11A: Quantification of a Mutagen – Standard Ames Test Sarah R. Villarreal Rogers 1130 INTRODUCTION. In the experiment Lab 6A‚ Diet Coke was determined a mutagen by using a test called the Spot-Overlay Ames Test. The Spot-Overlay Test was designed and named after Dr. Bruce Ames‚ a Scientist and professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at an array of colleges (Ames 2012)‚ the test was designed to determine whether or not something is mutagenic. After the Spot-Overlay Ames Test

The Effect of Stroop Level of Interference on the Reaction Time Queens College‚ CUNY Abstract The aim of this study was to assess whether Stroop interference did indeed replicate with modern day students. Undergraduate students sample was obtained consisting of 12 females and 6 males‚ who are students in experimental psychology class. The independent variable was the condition of the stimuli with 3 levels (low‚ medium and high interference conditions). The dependable

weight affects the time it takes for a rotocopter to fall from a drop height of 1 and 2 meter(s) respectively. The primary goal of this lab is to investigate and explain the relationship of these two factors. During the process of conducting this experiment‚ learning to design a lab will also be achieved. Research Question: What is the effect of weight on the time it takes for a rotocopter to fall from a drop height of 1 and 2 meter(s)? Variable Chart: DEPENDENT VARIABLE: •the time it takes for a
