| 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

Also‚ the group must be sure to close the bottle tightly with the cap‚ because gas may escape this way as well. During

English 10a 6 March 2012 Tuskegee Experiments This is possibly one of the most inhumane things to ever happen in the 20th century in the Untied States.
