This experiment tested the growth of E.coli with inserted plasmid on an agar plate with Ampicillin. One colony of E.coli resistant to Ampicillin was grown during this experiment. The overall goal of the experiment was to successfully grow E.coli on the agar plate‚ which would show that the plasmid had been effectively inserted into the bacteria’s genes. This experiment helped students understand how plasmids were inserted into bacteria and used in real life situations. It also showed how the bacteria’s

compensation for participating in this experiment. These participants were divided into six groups based on where they were sitting. Design The Stroop Test was used in order to test the effect of interference on reaction time. This was done by using three different types of slides‚ each with either 20 words or 20 colored boxes‚ and recording how many words participants could read the color of‚ rather than the word itself. The colors used in this experiment were red‚ green‚ blue‚ purple and brown

William Edwards Deming was a master of quality improvement. His demonstration called the “Red Bead Experiment” was an amazingly simple‚ but effective way to highlight some problems in quality management. The example‚ which he used in many of his seminars‚ involved a batch consisting of approximately 80% white beads and 20% red beads. A group of willing workers were trained to use paddles that collected samples of beads for quality testing. The workers showed their paddles to managers who would then

Abstract: This experiment was completed with the intention of testing if two specific plants were allelopathic. Allelopathicity is defined as “They are allelon which means "of each other"‚ and pathos which means "to suffer". Allelopathy refers to the chemical inhibition of one species by another. The "inhibitory" chemical is released into the environment where it affects the development and growth of neighboring plants.” (Ref 1) Introduction: Have you ever wondered why certain plants do

negative emotional and physical effects of racism within her classroom. She created an experiment in which she divided her students into unequal groups as a way of creating artificial stereotypes‚ prejudices‚ and discrimination. Jane Elliot eventually expanded her experiments into the adult population. She has done these experiments on corrections workers in prisons‚ as well as college students. Through all these experiments‚ Jane Elliot has made many conclusions and generalizations that can directly relate

discussion I would like to contrast controlled laboratory experiments and naturalistic observations research methods. In controlled laboratory experiments‚ the researchers conduct their studies in a controlled setting. Conversely‚ studies involving naturalistic observation‚ examine participants in their natural environment. Below I present a contrast of the most essential features of each of these methods of research. Controlled laboratory experiments: • Objective: Seek to compare two or more conditions

Boyle’s Law Experiment Aim To show that Pressure is proportional to the inverse to volume Method A gas syringe was attached to a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor was calibrated‚ assuming the atmospheric pressure at the time of the experiment was 100kPa. Differing volumes of gas were created in the gas syringe and they were recorded as were the corresponding values of pressure at that particular volume. The volume was varied between 20cm3 and 75cm3. Results A set of readings was obtained

Role Playing and its Toll In “The Stanford Prison Experiment‚” psychologist Philip G. Zimbardo describes his study of how placing average‚ male‚ college students in a prison like environment proved that their roles dehumanized them as individuals by radically changing their perceptions and behaviors. Before the experiment‚ the subjects were “emotionally stable‚ physically healthy‚ mature‚ law-abiding citizens” (734). With the flip of a coin ten men were chosen to be prisoners and eleven men
