To begin‚ zoos are unethical due to the fact that they take animals out of the wild and place them in artificial environments that have failed to meet their standard of living. For example‚ research has shown that some larger animals need for space is not fulfilled in their confined cages. One example of this is how the zoo environment can have a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of zoo animals. Captive elephants‚ for example‚ cannot exercise in the same way they do in the wild and

or vary in some way. By employing both experimental and control groups in an experiment‚ investigators are enabled to rule out the possibility that something other than the experimental manipulation produced the results observed during the experiment. This type of research can be broadly divided into three main types: The Laboratory Experiment‚ The Field Experiment and The Natural Experiment. In a laboratory experiment‚ there is a systematic variation of the independent variables while other irrelevant

v. Reliability The experiment was unreliable. This is because no repeat trials were performed. A number of possible inconsistencies were outlined with regards to accuracy. As no repeat trials were performed‚ the results obtained may have merely been the outliers in the experiment so therefore be unreliable. This is because repeat trials need to be performed until a constant result is obtained in order for the experiment to be considered reliable. Ideally‚ a number of repeat trials should have been

less. Literature Review Many experiments have been conducted to test the strength and absorbency of paper towels. While the steps of the experiment vary from test to test‚ all of experiments are testing the same two factors; how much water can each paper towel brand absorb and how strong are each of the paper towels. Below I have reviewed the process and results from three experiments that are similar to the one I will be using. In the first experiment‚ the tester uses five brands of paper
