into a petri-dish and the cylinder removed and blotted with filter paper‚ throwing the liquid away from the petri-dish after each cylinder was removed. 7) The length and texture of each potato cylinder was recorded in a table. Discussion: In the experiment‚ I believe the phenomenon to take place is osmosis. Osmosis is the movement/diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high concentration of water molecules (high water potential) to an area of a low concentration

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. The experiments that took place were the root of medical misconduct and blatant disregard for human rights that took place in the name of science. The ghastly medical expirements that took place between 1932 and 1972 was merely an observation of the different stages of syphilis. The men in these experiments for the most part were illiterate

Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27) These experiments were performed to find out the effect of different levels of illumination (lighting) on productivity of labour. The brightness of the light was increased and decreased to find out the effect on the productivity of the test group. Surprisingly‚ the productivity increased even when the level of illumination was decreased. It was concluded that factors other than light were also important. Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room Study (1927-1929)

Title: An investigation into the impact of group pressure on an individual’s estimate of the amount of beads in a pot (ginger granules in a jar). IV = Group/Individual DV = Individual beads estimate 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

England Puritans‚ as one perceives‚ is a dark one: the Puritans‚ religious dissenters who valued propriety and order‚ are seen as a witch-hunters‚ suspicious tribe‚ and their very name carries connotations of grimness and primness. Where as the book "A Little Commonwealth" reflects the scenario in which the Puritans lived. Most of the houses in the Puritan Colonial time were small‚ dark‚ brooding and sparsely furnished. This allowed the Puritans to use every available space in the home. For examples

SUMMARY The aim is to observe distillation process of ethanol-water solution and to measure the alcohol content after process in this experiment. 500 ml of solution with an alcohol content of 32% (v/v) is used for this experiment. Temperature values are recorded for every 10 ml alcohol obtained in the flask. The process is repeated in our experiment and for the first process‚ the data collection process continues until the distillate reaches to 200 ml. The concentration of alcohol is measured for

Experiment 4A – Counting Atoms in a Chemical Reaction Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to create an experiment where zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid in order to find out the number of moles and atoms of zinc reacted. This can be accomplished by weighing the sample before and after the reaction with hydrochloric acid. Data: Material Mass in grams (g) Initial mass of dry beaker 49.37 Initial mass of dry beaker + zinc 51.03 Initial mass of zinc 1.66 Final mass

In order to find the connection between the level of education and income‚ research methods need to established. To find the relationship between the two‚ I would use the methods of survey and experiments. Survey method allows a collection of a specific population and from that populations a sample population can be extracted to represent the whole. Given a random survey preformed at a local festival would give the general population a chance to participate since all sorts of people attend community

The essential part in this practical is to plan the experiment in detail in order to obtain substantial data. Firstly we have to identify our controlled variables which will be kept constant throughout the experiment. By carrying out this practical it is ideal that students
