Investigation: The Stanford prison experiment was originally intended to run for a fortnight. However it lasted only 6 days and was ended earlier than initially planned due to the terrible living conditions and psychological problems that developed as the ‘inmates’ and ‘guards’ interacted.. The experiment was run by Philip Zimbardo‚ Craig Haney‚ David Jaffe‚ and W. Curtis Banks. The test subjects were young male college students that were chosen from 75 volunteers. The volunteers had replied to

Anna Marcon Lab 1 Report June 9‚ 2014 Introductions Background The dominant thumb experiment is used to observe the correlation between handedness and thumb dominance and whether one inherited trait will always influences another correlated trait. Examples of this experiment of this can be traced back as far as 1908. In this experiment 50 people were asked to clasp their hands and the thumb dominance. Once the hands were clasped‚ one thumb would naturally overlap the other and the handedness

Andrews July 13‚ 2013 * * * * Abstract: In this laboratory we utilize simple measures of physical quantities (for example‚ distance‚ and mass) and use the measurements to calculate or convert other physical quantities (such volume and area). We also use mathematical calculations and formulas to make conversions from one unit of measurement into another unit of measurement (for example‚ a

of that drink is contaminated with dye? In this experiment‚ with the use of a spectrophotometer‚ the amount of concentrated dye in three drinks will be tested. First‚ the dye itself will be examined to see what the optimal wavelength and absorbance will be when created in a serial solution. Red Dye 40 was the prime object that will be studied in this lab because it is one of the most common dyes in every day drinks. Before performing any experiment though‚ it is important to understand

For this experiment you will need green and white seedling The purpose of this experiment was to test two different hypotheses about the credibility of Mendel’s law of independent assortment and law of segregation. First is that the first plant is the product of a monohybrid cross. A monohybrid cross is “a cross between two organisms that are heterozygous for the character being followed” (Urry‚ G-21). The monohybrid is represented through a phenotypic ratio of 3:1 and a dihybrid cross is represented

Chemistry Lab Report Stoichiometry Design Experiment Percentage Yield of Calcium Carbonate and HCl I. Background Information When marble chips and hydrochloric acid are added together‚ they form sodium chloride‚ water‚ and carbon dioxide. This reaction can be displayed by the balanced equation below; CaCO3 (s) + HCl (l) NaCl(s) + H2O(l) + CO2 (g) As the carbon dioxide is formed‚ it will leave the open beaker as a gas. This will result in a loss of mass. The mass change can then be

Abstract: The Enzyme Lab results where when the liver was frozen‚ its reaction was fast‚ and when it was hot‚ it was slow‚ and the liver that was at room temperature reacted slowly to medium. Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature‚ pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions‚ which would otherwise

Moment of Inertia and Rotational Motion Garret Hebert PHY 2311 Tues 1:00 garret.hebert@hindscc.edu Abstract: During this lab we will study what rotational Inertia is and how different shapes of masses and different masses behave inertially when compared to each other. We will specifically study the differences of inertia between a disk and a ring. We will use increasing forces to induce angular acceleration of both a disk and a ring of a certain mass. We will then then measure the differences

Lab 3 : Techniques in Microscopy Title : Preparation of light microscope observe cell organisms. Objective : To observe and investigate the cell structure under the light microscope. Introduction A microscope is an instrument used to magnify and resolve a specimen. It is important to know several important features of microscopy which involves magnification‚ resolution and contrast. Magnification is the enlargement of a specimen while resolution is the ability to distinguish detail or the
