Zimbardo. This experiment replicated a real prison that took students to participate in it. Students role-played the prisoners themselves‚ and prison guards. It was conducted in the basement of the psychology department

Title Experiment with a spiral spring (Oscillation) Objective 1. To show how the time of vertical oscillation depends on the load 2. To determine the spring constant 3. To determine the effective mass of the spring Introduction In this experiment‚ it is to show how the time of vertical oscillation depends on the load‚ to determine the spring constant and to determine the effective mass of the spring. An ideal spring is remarkable in the sense that

McKimmie of the University of Queensland‚ performed two conformity experiments on university students. These experiments were done too measure the influence of group norms on student ’s attitudes. Experiment one involved 205 university students who rated themselves as being pro-gay law reform. The students were given numerous questions that asked them to rate the moral basis for their attitude‚ and what they believed society ’s attitude was. Following the questioning‚ the participants were told

given crop? In our experiment‚ we examine the effects of water on corn. Corn is a vital crop to North America‚ and there is a wide draw to maximizing crop yields. To determine the effects of different amounts of water‚ we tested plants with various watering times according to a schedule. All of the plants experienced all of the same conditions‚ except for the quantities of water

Draw a dotted line connecting the normal and the dot you just made (emerging dot line). Extend the refracted ray. 11. Measure the angles of incidence and the angles of refraction. 12. Use your practical results to verify Snell’s Law. Results: *Refractive index for Perspex is 1.5. Experiment 1 n1 sinθ1 = n2 sinθ2 1

if you’ve ever had your hair stick up straight after you combed it‚ or had your socks stick together when you removed them from the drier. This is called static electricity‚ but back then nobody knew how to explain it or what to do with it. Experiments using friction to generate static electricity led to machines that could produce large amounts of static electricity on demand. In 1660 German Otto von Guericke made the first electrostatic generator with a ball of sulfur and some cloth. The ball

Medical Experiments of the Holocaust As a society we place those in the medical profession on a pedestal. They are people to be looked up to and admired. In many ways they are Gods‚ right here with us on earth. People put the hope and faith in doctors hoping they can perform miracles. Throughout history‚ doctors have indeed preformed many wonders. There were‚ however‚ some doctors that betrayed this belief and peoples trust. These doctors could be found in concentration camps such as Auschwitz
