Fair Science Testing Notes A hypothesis proposes a possible cause and effect relationship between two variables. This involves selecting one variable and suggesting how this variable might influence other variables An independent variable is the variable that is changing in the experiment. It is sometimes called the manipulated variable. There can only be one independent variable‚ as any more than one can lead to unfair results. A Dependent Variable is the variable that is getting recorded

accelerating the growth of algae in a pond(C). I believed this sentence to be where the scientist asked himself whether or not the industrial plant had any bearing on the accelerated growth. I believe this sentence shows this. 3. Create a hypothesis. A scientist‚ based on his observation of the pond‚ believes that if a pond is exposed to the waste of an industrial plant‚ then the growth of algae will be accelerated (A). This to me is an educated guess. Although the scientist has not tested

The skeptical hypothesis seeks to undermine the credibility of our knowledge by making a claim about the falsity of our beliefs that we cannot disprove. I will explain this hypothesis in further detail and outline two responses to it‚ the Moorean response and the contextualist response. Finally‚ I will argue that the Moorean response is the most logically sound of the two‚ while considering a counterpoint to the Moorean philosophy. The skeptical hypothesis argues that for anything that one might

[Page 1] Baumol argues that as opposed to common belief a theory of entrepreneurship already exists. The misunderstanding that the entrepreneur is absent in theory stems from 1) Neoclassical theory of the firm (and production)‚ which assumes a status of equilibrium. In such theories there is no place for entrepreneurs since they focus on -and recognize opportunities in - disequilibrium. So the entrepreneur is not mentioned in the neoclassical theories. 2) Wrong expectations: we tend to expect

and caffeine solution will have an affect on pulsation rate. Since it is already known to have other physiological affects. The alternative hypothesis is that the solutions will have no affect on pulsation rate. The solutions had no affect on pulsation rate because of the negative change in rate of beats per minute (table 1.1). The alternative hypothesis is supported by the data found in the experiment sample. However there is an error due to the sample size is not large enough to apply to the

Tribalism is a pervasive quality of the human experience. People readily divide themselves by categories such as gender‚ race‚ politics‚ religion‚ etc.‚ and establish groups based on their similar characteristics. By extension‚ people form loyalties to their group and simultaneously develop bitter rivalries with "the other‚" members that do not belong to the group. Conflict arises when two groups are competing for the same resources. The individual is pressured to remain loyal to the group in order

We predict that violence in the media does not affect an audience. To support the hypothesis we will conduct an experiment using a sample group of Yr.11 students which attend Westminster school. Three different varied films will be shown for 3 minutes‚ Educating Rita‚ Braveheart and Bugsy Malone. During each film heart rates will be taken

The investigation of the controlled and the automatic processes employing the Stroop effect experiment. Abstract The interference between the controlled and the automatic processes was observed in the Stroop effect type experiment using two different conditions. The original Stroop effect experiment concluded that the participants will find it more difficult to complete the reading task of the words related to colour meaning in comparison to the reading task of non-colour related words.
