Rough Draft #2 Imagine answering an ad‚ possibly because you need a little extra cash‚ or maybe because you were intrigued by the idea. Either way it was stated something like this‚ “Male college students needed for psychological study of prison life. $ 15 per day for 1-2 weeks.” ( Ratnesar 1). Zimbardo and his team selected 24 men‚ to participate in this study half of the men would randomly be selected to be prisoners and half of the men would be prison guards. The guards were given very specific

This experiment tested the growth of E.coli with inserted plasmid on an agar plate with Ampicillin. One colony of E.coli resistant to Ampicillin was grown during this experiment. The overall goal of the experiment was to successfully grow E.coli on the agar plate‚ which would show that the plasmid had been effectively inserted into the bacteria’s genes. This experiment helped students understand how plasmids were inserted into bacteria and used in real life situations. It also showed how the bacteria’s

The Bouncy Egg Experiment! Mrs. Murosky December 19‚ 2013 Introduction: GOAL: The goal of this experiment is to get an egg to bounce. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? : The results of the egg experiment is important because it shows what the membrane of an egg looks like‚ but allows the experimenter to have fun in the process. LITERATURE: The acids in the vinegar make the shell deteriorate. Eggs contain "calcium carbonate"(this is what makes it hard)‚ and vinegar is an acid. When they both combine

Copper sulphate experiment Introduction There are a number of different methods of making salts‚ such as the reaction of a metal with an acid. Copper metal‚ however‚ does not react with sulphuric acid and so another method must be used. In this experiment a basic copper compound (copper(II) oxide) will be reacted with sulphuric acid giving copper(II) sulphate as one of the products. Method 1. Wear goggles and keep your face away from the beaker during the reaction 2. Place 20 cmm3 sulphuric

Factors that affect the rate of fermentation are the nutrient availability and the concentration of that nutrient. In the Barfing Bag experiment‚ our control group which was granulated sugar worked the best against splenda‚ artificial‚ and stevia which a sugar substitute that comes from a plant and has 0 calories. In the barfing bag experiment we had three bags with yeast and then we added different types of sugars to test which type of sugar creates the most carbon dioxide or which bag inflates

easy to do. Making a fog machine is good for: Parties‚ Halloween. When making it you need to be careful of how much and how little you put into your solution to make the fog. When I did my research I found out there are many easy ways to do this experiment. You can use dry ice‚ or as I used‚ you can use glycerin liquid and distilled water. Investigative question: Will the solution of the glycerin liquid and distilled water work in the making of the fog? Hypothesis: Depending on how much of

at a 7. After two minutes elapsed‚ I again rubbed the sandpaper gently with my right index finger. My perception of the coarseness of the sandpaper did change during this experiment. On the second trial‚ the texture of the sandpaper felt smoother to the touch. I rated the coarseness at a 4 the second time. During this experiment‚ the sensory receptors located in the nerve endings on my fingertip responded to the presented stimulus‚ recognizing the pressure of touching the sandpaper. This information

Phillip Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment: Ethical or not? Chase Clark University of Massachusetts‚ Lowell Abstract The research conducted in this paper consists of solely the Stanford Prison Experiment‚ which was originally conducted by the social psychologist‚ Phillip G. Zimbardo. This experiment replicated a real prison that took students to participate in it. Students role-played the prisoners themselves‚ and prison guards. It was conducted in the basement of the psychology department
