| Analysis: The number of heart beats increase‚ as the caffeine concentration increases‚ as shown in the results. Conclusion: The hypothesis was correct as the heart beat did increase as the caffeine concentration increased. However‚ this experiment could have been more fair due to the following: * All the daphnia used

In this experiment‚ we planted bean plants and put stress on them by rubbing them a certain amount of times a day. This was to see how they might survive in a windy area or in an environment where they might constantly be touched or moved around. The bean plants were

UV4297 March 24‚ 2010 THE ABERDEEN EXPERIMENT The phone rang yet again‚ but Sarah Mann‚ general manager of the BAE Systems plant in Aberdeen‚ South Dakota‚ was ready. Experience told her what the question would be: Had the “Aberdeen experiment‚” begun by Bob Lancaster when the plant was built‚ undergone any changes over the past quarter century? From the beginning‚ Lancaster’s design and management of the plant‚ which produced missile launch canisters for the U.S. Navy‚ were unusual—and successful

As stated above‚ humans have a need to be accepted by others and for this to happen‚ each individual within the group must share the same belief as the group.An experiment by Donna Webster and Arie Kruglanski showed that dissenters who voiced their opinion were rejected by the entire group and this explains that we tend to conform to behaviors around us for the sake of not being rejected(Kruglanski & Webster‚ 1991)

The purpose of this lab was to determine if a there is a change in mass when a gas is produced and determine if gas has mass. To conduct this experiment‚ the group must be careful not to let the Alka-Seltzer tablet get wet before the bottle is closed by wiping the lip of the bottle and the cap so it remains dry‚ or risk gas escaping into the air and not being captured by the bottle. Also‚ the group must be sure to close the bottle tightly with the cap‚ because gas may escape this way as well. During
