Popcorn Experiment Experiment performed on 8/26/11 Biology 101 Introduction: “The oldest popcorn ever found was discovered in the “Bat Cave” of central New Mexico. Archaeologists found 80‚000-year-old corn pollen below Mexico City”. “The popcorn was thougt to be about 5‚600 years old”. (www.factmonster.com/spot/popcorn1.html) This particular pollen is almost identical to today’s popcorn pollen. Researchers came up with the theory that popcorn could have been a Stone Age snack for “cave

EXPERIMENT 7: PERCENTAGE OF OXYGEN IN KClO3 Introduction: In this experiment you will determine the percentage of oxygen in potassium chlorate. You will calculate the theoretical value from the chemical formula and compare your experimental value to the theoretical value. Background: When potassium chlorate (KClO3) is heated‚ it undergoes chemical decomposition. Oxygen gas (O2) is given off and potassium chloride (KCl) remains as the residue. The equation for the decomposition of potassium

so deeply ingrained and powerful that it cancels out a person’s ability to behave morally‚ ethically‚ or even sympathetically. In 1963 Milgram carried out an experiment. He hypothesized that individuals who would never intentionally cause someone physical harm would do so if ordered by a powerful authority figure. To carry out the experiment‚ Milgram designed a shock generator- a large electronic device with 30 switches labeled with voltage levels from 30 volts increasing at 15-volt intervals to

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

His boat like a cork on the abundant sea. He knew he was to face severe risks on his way home. The boat began to roll from side to side. The day was being swallowed up‚ and the moon arising. The sea moaning with burden. The stench of salt disperses. The rain-shroud passed by‚ spitting teasingly at him with swarming tears. The sea swelling and the north wind sped him to his doom. His stomach churned‚ he felt sea sick‚ sensing a fever drawing near. The clouds became thick obscuring the moon. They seethed

Abstract Over a two week period of time in the laboratory‚ we experimented and tested the reaction rate of a peroxidase enzyme and the factors that affected it‚ both positively and negatively. The purpose of these experiments was to probe and manipulate the activity of the enzyme peroxidase by varying temperature‚ pH‚ the amount of enzyme compared to the substrate and the effect of hydroxylamine. Peroxidase activity is expressed when the potato extract is subjected to stresses such as low temperature

Stanley Milgram: ’electric shock’ experiments (1963) - also showed the power of the situation in influencing behaviour. 65% of people could be easily induced into giving a stranger an electric shock of 450V (enough to kill someone). 100% of people could be influenced into giving a 275V shock.

the way one person may think is the best way to teach may not be the same as another and that is okay. Learning psychology went over a few different techniques of how a person learns new information. One that stuck with me the most is Operant conditioning. Operant conditioning uses positive and negative reinforcement and punishment. From what I have seen and experienced growing up the use of reinforcement is very helpful in teaching someone. The use of the reinforcement will get a student to want
