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 of each subject was noted. The hypothesis of the experiment is that when

The Cabbage Indicator Experiment My hypothesis for this experiment is if I put an acid or a base in to a neutral then it will change colors. My hypothesis was correct in assuming that it would change colors with different substances or mixtures. If I put an acid or a base in to a neutral then it will change colors. The red cabbage indicator did change colors. Greens for bases and reds and pinks for acids. An alternative hypothesis for this could be “If the red cabbage indicator is purple then adding

INTRODUCTION The Loftus and Palmer experiment investigated the influence of leading information: visual imagery and leading questions with regards to eyewitness testimony. A research that studies this is the Loftus and Palmer (1974) Experiment. It aims is to investigate how “verb” asked in the question causes construction in one’s memory of that event. Participants will be separated into two groups one control and one test group‚ then both groups will view a video of a car crash. After that‚ the

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this experiment was to test the validity of the Law of Reflection and Snell’s Law (Also known as the Law of Refraction). Reflection is defined as the reversal in direction of a particle stream or wave upon encountering a boundary. The law of reflection states that the angle of reflection and angle of incidence are equal‚ with each angle being measured from the normal to the boundary: Refraction is defined as the bending of light that takes place at a boundary between

Stanley Milgram was an extremely famous psychologist who was best known for his groundbreaking experiment on the subject of obedience during the 1960s. Milgram began his career as a psychologist just around the time that the horrifying truth of the concentration camps came out. The fact that almost an entire nation obeyed one man‚ who commanded them to do inhumane and grotesque acts to other human beings intrigued Stanley Milgram.

Abstract Ernest Rutherford’s Gold Foil Experiment was a major stepping stone one the way to discovering what the atom was really made up of. From the beginning of his research with alpha particles to his discovery of the atomic nucleus‚ Rutherford made many contributions to the microscopic world of the atom. The Rutherford Experiment‚ otherwise known as the Gold Foil Experiment‚ was the crown of his achievements‚ and it was during this experiment that he discovered the atomic nucleus. (Aydin &Hanuscin

They conducted many experiments with a 4th grade class to prove that they have misconceptions about sound waves. They based their experiments on these common misconceptions held by elementary students: “sound can only travel through air not through solids or liquids‚ sound can travel thought a vacuum such as space‚ sound can be made

TITLE : Tensile Test ABSTRACT The tensile test experiment being done purposely to determine the deformation of our specimen which is low carbon steel or also called as mild steel‚ and it also to identify the fracture characteristic of the specimen based on the result that we got through the experiment. Based on the data presence from this experiment ‚we used it to calculate the stress and strain using a theoretical formula. Through all the calculation that we got‚ we construct a table and
