Individual Project Unit 2 Experiments In this individual project we were asked to conduct three experiments. The three experiments I chose to conduct were Experiment 1‚ Experiment 2‚ and Experiment 4. I have documented my findings for the experiments that were done. In Experiment 1‚ I was to rub my index finger gently over a piece of very coarse sandpaper for a few times. Then‚ I was to rate its coarseness on a scale from 1 (very soft) to 7 (very coarse)

In the past‚ scientists have done very unwise and unimaginable experiments with humans as the test subject. Like in 1932‚ the public health service was working to find treatment for syphilis in the african american race.They had 600 black men‚ 399 with syphilis and 201 that did not have the disease. Without the patient’s knowing that they were contracted with syphilis‚ scientists told the men that they were being treated for “bad blood”. But really they were not given the right treatment to cure their

ABSTRACT The Stroop experiment focuses on the interference of a person’s reaction time on a given task. Certain tasks can be performed with more accuracy due to the fact that our brain becomes conditioned to react automatically after exposure of the stimuli. In this particular experiment‚ eight-teen college students underwent the Stroop experiment in individualized laboratory rooms. Four students were male and fourteen were females. The experiment helped us examine the horse race model

loss from the hot water from combining it with the cold water. As discussed in a page titled Heat Capacity2‚ the heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat it takes to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree (in this case C). In the experiment performed in lab‚ the heat capacity of the calorimeters was calculated by subtracting the heat gain from the heat loss and then dividing that by the difference in the temperatures between cold water and the combination of the hot and cold water

The main focus of this experiment was to find the relationship between temperature and the enzyme activity of amylase. This was achieved by attaining amylase enzyme‚ starch solution and potassium iodide (determines if enzymes hydrolyses the starch solution)‚ water bath and a hot plate. The temperatures used for this experiment were room temperature‚ 37oC‚ 60oC‚ 80oC‚ and 90oC. The hypothesis developed was that as the temperature increased‚ so will enzyme activity. Therefore‚ the ability of the

is still open to controversy. Does a dose of caffeine heighten one ’s mental performance‚ or does it achieve the opposite? Many experiments have already taken place in order to discover how caffeine effects a person ’s mental performance. In the Radiological Society of America ’s annual conference in December of 2005‚ Florian Koppelstatter reported an experiment in which he used functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) to determine how coffee effects brain activity. Subjects were then given

The Afterlife Investigations: The Scole Experiment “Best evidence of life after death ever.” This is what this documentary film is pointing out. Is there really a life after death? Well this film makes me believe more that there is indeed a life after death. However‚ how can scientific evidence explain life after death? Now this film showed me how. The ninety-minute documentary film is about the Scole Experiment‚ which is a five-year investigation into life after death. It is conducted by

Alex Maloney English 1010 Professor: Joel Nebres Date: 3/3/2012 The Good and The Bad In The Road‚ the earth and its life are irreversibly destroyed. Death almost reaches very near totality; humans‚ plants and animals all gradually collapse. This seems to be the end of all life. Out of those few survivors‚ cannibals‚ the “bad guys”‚ become a major enterprise. Blood-cults consume one another. Deranged tone becomes the music of the new age. The end of all life also means the end of all civilizations

perform better when they are participants in an experiment. Individuals may change their behavior due to the attention they are receiving from researchers rather than because of any manipulation of independent variables. The Hawthorne experiments took place from 1927 to 1933 in the Hawthorne plant of Western Electric. They wanted to test scientific management. The experiments were held by Elton Mayo‚ and a few of his colleagues. The experiments began as a series of productivity studies from
