Effect of Clay in Soil on Plant Growth INTRODUCTION: In this experiment‚ the relationship between the amount of clay in the soil and plant growth was measured over a two week time period. The manipulated variable in the experiment was the amount of clay in the soil‚ specifically one hundred and twenty grams of clay mixed with eighty grams of soil‚ and the responding variable was the plant growth. Although clay in soil can be beneficial for plant growth in the sense that is provides good moisture

putting or diving people into groups could cause them to discriminate the other group. Tajfel’s procedure of the experiment involved two laboratory experiments. The subjects of the first experiment contained 64 boys‚ 14 and 15 year-old from a school in Bristol. The boys from each group knew each other well‚ since they were actually in the same houses at the school. The second experiment was similar to the first one‚ since 48 students also already knew each other. In terms of stereotypes and his

In his early experiments‚ Donders applied electric shocks to the right and left feet of his subjects. In one of his experiments‚ he did two trials with different conditions. In the first trial‚ subjects were not aware which foot will be shocked while in the second trial‚ subjects were aware. He found out the difference

In 1961 a man named Albert Bandura conducted and experiment that not only showed but proved that children learned by observing and then imitating adult behavior. This experiment was conducted at Stanford University where Bandura was a professor. They used 36 boys and 36 girls from the Stanford University Nursery School between the ages of 3 and 6 years old. There were two inflatable dolls called Bobo Dolls used for this experiment. These were the kind of dolls you could hit and knock over and they

Yullie and Cutshall (1986) conducted a natural experiment on 13 out of 21 bystanders who had witnessed a violent shooting 4-5 months previously. There recall was detailed and accurate and they were resistant to leading questions months after the event. Therefore‚ this suggest that bystanders had reached

For the scientist’s experiment the scientist will be experimenting with additives and gel. We will be adding different substances such as table salt‚ citric acid‚ and sugar. The scientist’s problem statement is “What kind of substances make gel the strongest?” The independent variable will be the different additives (Table salt‚ citric acid‚ and sugar) which will be added using tablespoons. The dependent variable is the strength of the gel which will be measured using a scale of 10. The constant

the University of Otago in 2000. The researchers utilized two experiments to follow changes in declarative memory‚ or explicit memory in infants over the course of the first 2 years of life. The researchers were interested in discovering information about the emergence of multiple memory systems in infancy. It is understood that memory functions as two or more systems; but when these systems emerge is under question. The first experiment method required infants 12 and 18 months old.
