Abstract This experiment investigated the impact of group pressure on the individual. The hypothesis is that group pressure does indeed impact on the individual and in this case the individual’s estimate of the number of ginger granules in a jar. Participants were asked to make a judgement of the number of ginger granules in a jar‚ first individually and then as a group. The individual participants were then interviewed again to see if their estimates had changed. The results proved the hypothesis that

One example of an experiment that measures microbial succession was an experiment observing changes in traditional Chinese soy sauce over time (Sulaiman et al. 2014). The fermentation of the soy sauce brine revealed that the primary bacteria shifted from the bacteria with the genus Weissella to bacteria with the genus Candida over time. This occurred while the pH

Animal Experiments Abstract This paper talks about animal experiments and why it should be stopped. The reasons are that animals experiments are unethical‚ it’s bad science‚ & wasteful‚ even though most people believe that there is no other way for scientists to find cure without testing it on animals first‚ but I think it’s not true‚ and you’ll see as you continue reading this paper. Unethical Arguments over the ethical behavior on animal experiments has been in humans thoughts from

but was rejected by the Romantics (ibid.; Stone 1967‚ Ch. 5). There is also a related view (held by behaviourists‚ for instance) that language and thought are identical. According to this stance thinking is entirely linguistic: there is no ’non-verbal thought ’‚ no ’translation ’ at all from thought to language. In this sense‚ thought is seen as completely determined by language. The Sapir-Whorf theory‚ named after the American linguists Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf‚ is a mould theory of

Photosynthesis Experiment Introduction Photosynthesis is a process used by plants‚ making inorganic molecules into organic molecules (food) using sunlight. Carbon dioxide + Water (mainly from rain) Glucose + Oxygen From this process‚ carbon dioxide comes from environment. Glucose‚ as a product is used to make energy for growth. Lastly‚ the oxygen is a waste product in this chemical reaction‚ which become part of the Earth’s atmosphere. At this experiment‚ carbon dioxide and water
