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

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

bubbles. So that’s why we call it a lava lamp inside of bottle. The conclusion is that you can make lava lamp household items if you use Alka-Seltzer‚ water‚ food coloring‚ and vegetable oil. So if you want to try just do what we did. That is our experiment. Why this happened because the Alka-seltzer had a chemical reaction beacuse of some powder on the outside of the alka-seltzer so the bubbles carried the food coloring up to the top of the bottle

The objective of the experiments is to see if mold will grow on bread if it has water. Molds are found everywhere. They are a type of microscopic fungi that lives on organic matter. They can be found both indoors and outdoors. No one knows how many species of fungi exist but estimates at least three hundred thousand or more. they have been on this earth for millions of years and believe to grow where there is moisture. According to the U.S.D.A eating bread with mold can cause allergic reaction and

Salinity Experiment Aim To determine a method of measuring a soil sample’s salinity level in order to measure 3 samples’ salinity level. Hypothesis I think that by running a current through a salt solution and measuring the resultant amperage‚ a pattern in the recordings will help find a soil sample’s salinity level. Variables Controlled Amount of solution (100 mL)‚ supplied voltage (4V)‚ amount of soil (50 gm) & water (150 mL) in soil sample’s solution. Independent Amps recorded

In this experiment‚ one of the big is osmosis‚ and how it had the overall impact in this excitement a little on osmosis. Osmosis takes place when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable membrane in which the solvent can pass through but not the solute. In our experiment‚ we used a sucrose solution that will be a hypotonic concentration of solute. This tells us that the solution has a lower concentration of water than does the cells. Therefore‚ due to osmosis‚ the

Robbers Cave Experiment Jamie Allen Drake University Abstract Robbers Cave experiment was completed by Muzafer Sherif in order to question whether groups are able to work together for a common goal for the whole group. Muzafer showed us through 3 stages a) In group formation b) Friction phase c) integration stage. This experiment was made up of 22 Caucasian middle class boys who shared similar backgrounds coming from a two parent home and protestant background. The boys were complete strangers
