The Twin Experiments was conducted by Josef Mengele‚ during World War 2 in Auschwitz. Dr. Mengle was a medical researcher who was fascinated with twins in specific. From the three thousand children that would be pulled from the masses of people upon arriving only about 200 survived. Age didn’t matter‚ yet most were children‚ and if they were really young their mother would be allowed to stay with them. The twins recieved "special" treatmeant as they were allowed to keep their hair and clothes. A

Hawthorne Experiment. Advantages: During the experiment the performance of the group has increased (Not because of improving conditions‚ but because of the communication and collaboration) Disadvantages: there were personnel changes‚ that is the workers hostile watching the situation changed for those who would like to work in such conditions (that is attended only those workers who are more willing‚ not all workers) Conclusion: This experiment showed that workers are willing to actively

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

to determine the solubility constant of calcium hydroxide. But‚ there are few limitations in solubility constant concept‚ like the Diverse Ion effect and the Common ion effect. Sources of error probably were the assumptions made throughout the experiment and can be explained further by the limitations of the solubility constant. ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Introduction In a reaction where a slightly soluble ionic solid

Aim: The objective is to identify specific chemical substances within a cell and to be able to verify the presence or absence of each one in a cell or food substance for future testing. Hypothesis: The identification of each biomolecular chemical substance should be verified successfully‚ as well as determining if it is present or absent in the cell(s). Theoretical Base: A biomolecule is a substance that naturally occurs in living organisms. Biomolecules consist primarily of carbon and hydrogen

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
