The purpose of the Picket Fence Free Fall Lab was to examine the acceleration of objects as they fall to earth. During free-fall the only force that should be acting upon the object is the earth’s gravitational pull (9.8 m/s/s)‚ therefore the velocity of the object should always equal 9.8 m/s/s. In this lab the picket fence was dropped repeatedly through a photogate connected to Logger Pro‚ which allowed the fence’s acceleration and velocity to be recorded and graphed. The results of the experiment

Psychology Project I Systematic Observation Systematic observation is an assessment strategy used to document behavior‚ activities‚ knowledge or skills of a sample space (here‚ a group of people) over a period of time‚ rather than assessing the sample space at the same time. The rationale for our observations is to interpret the reading interests of males and females by the magazines they choose to buy. From the observations it can be hypothesized that what the sample space prefers to

Recently‚ interest in sport psychology has increased. Athletes and coaches talk regularly in the media about how sporting success can be attributed to how focused and motivated a player is‚ or how well a team has been able to work together. As a result‚ there is now a growing appreciation of the huge impact that

During my Observation at Longview on November 1st‚ in the GSRP and Head Start rooms‚ I observed children engaging in play. Both rooms had free play time‚ where the children could choose what and where they wanted to play. There were play areas set up around the room. The areas consist of building blocks‚ paint‚ water and sand table‚ exploration/ nature‚ and make-believe play. I personally was very intrigued with the make-believe play area. This area consists of occupational dress up clothing (doctor’s

of buffer for stimuli received through the five senses of sight‚ hearing‚ smell‚ taste and touch‚ which are retained accurately‚ but very briefly. For example‚ the ability to look at something and remember what it looked like with just a second of observation is an example of sensory memory. The stimuli detected by our senses can be either deliberately ignored‚ in which case they disappear almost instantaneously‚ or perceived‚ in which case they enter our sensory memory. This does not require any conscious
