In this science fair project, I tested if the difference in gender or age has a strong effect on the stroop test in order to understand the stroop effect more in depth. The results shown that adults understood the stroop effect better than other groups of people. I hypothesised that the difference in gender and age had a strong effect on the stroop test and that Kids would understand the stroop test better than adults. The difference in age and gender did affect the outcome of this experiment, however it was the adults that understood the stroop effect the best because of sharp eyesight. In this activity, the amount of time it took for each person to complete the stroop test was in relation to the people I chose to participate in the stroop
The name of the lab is “Drops on a Penny.” I was expected to find the independant variable, dependant variable, write a hypothesis, and test the experiment. After testing the experiment multiple times, I needed to find the average amount of drops for each trial, graph them, and tell what kind of relationship it is. The last thing I needed to do was rewrite the details of the project and write a conclusion. The point of the experiment was to have the students get used to the idea of a lab, and get familiar with independent and dependent variables.
In this lab we were trying to figure out if Salt Creek and Barker Lake had the correct chemical balances to sustain catfish for the years coming. In order to find this out, we tested the water using a Hach Water Testing Kit. Inside were dissolved oxygen reagent powder pillows 1, 2 and 3 which we added and mixed into our sample water to prepare it for testing. Then we added droplets of Sodium Thiosulphate Solution into the prepared water too see how much dissolved oxygen parts per million were in the water. Our independent variable in this experiment was the 5 different testing sites that we went to for water samples.
The independent variable tested in the lab was the type of Oreo cookie. The dependent variable in the lab was the mass of the stuffing in grams. Two control variables are the scale we used and the same brand of cookies. My hypothesis was if I measured the mass of the filling in the Double-Stuff and regular Oreos, then it would show that Double-Stuff Oreos do not have “double the stuff” because the mass of the Double-Stuff Oreo’s filling would be less than double the mass of a regular Oreo ’s filling.
What is the NCLEX? The NCLEX examination is a national test taken by nursing students to certify they are ready to practice in the field. Nursing students who have passed all their classes, and are ready to graduate, will take the test and hopefully receive their registered nurse certification. There is a great deal of history behind the exam.
Data Analysis The scientific question answered was, “Does the length of a Pinewood Derby car’s body affect how fast the car will go?” The hypothesis was, “If the length of a Pinewood Derby car is shortened, then the speed will increase.” The independent variable was the length of the car, and the dependent variable was the time it took for the car to reach the bottom. There were many control variables, and some of them are the car used, the wheels used, the stopwatch used, and the ramp the cars were raced on.
Through the ins and outs of this experiment, the goal was to see if hanging a chicken feeder on a hook decreased the amount of chicken feed that was consumed by birds. The question that was asked was “If a chicken feeder is hung off of a hook, then will the amount of chicken feed eaten by wild birds decrease?”, and the hypothesis is “if a chicken feeder is hung off of a hook then the amount of chicken feed eaten by wild birds decrease”. There were numerous variables and trials that had to take place for the experiment to perform as desired. The control group was the feeder that was at ground level, and this portion of the trial was tested seven times. The experimental group was the feeder that was not at ground level, but on a hook.
One could also consider some negative psychological effects of the experiments such as a perpetual self doubt as a result of having the subject's perspective on the answer to the line size questions conflict with the group's answers and putting the subject in a situation where they either have to choose to be put into an awkward social situation where they are forced to deviate from the groups norm's and deal with the consequences of social deviance, or choose to conform to the group's norms and have to cope with the personal conflict of siding with a conflicting answer that is different from what the subject knows to be true, to be unethical consequences of the
After that participants were asked to recall the schemas. Participants who read the other groups schema recalled more information in the second trial than the other
After Zimbardo sifted through plenty of applicants, he found a group of students that were mentally able to take part in the experiment. He divided them into two groups:
Abstract St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is a pediatric treatment center and research facility. They focus on cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases afflicting children around the world. St. Jude is a world leader in developing new and improved treatments for children with cancer. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is a nonprofit organization located in Memphis, Tennessee. Danny Thomas, the founder, opened St. Jude’s doors on February 4th, 1962.
The hypothesis for this project was “If a soccer ball has less regulation air pressure, then the distance the ball travels when kicked will be less.” It was therefore rejected. The soccer ball with less air traveled farther than the soccer ball with more air. The average distance of the soccer ball with less air traveled 29 yards, and the soccer ball wind or that I was tired.with more air traveled at an average distance of 19 yards. could’ve been caused by the It Everything went according to plan except that the hypothesis was rejected.
Having been put in a group according to a Belbin questionnaire, concurring to a score, a role is given, which was applied during the experiment. In this group activity, I worked with other students to investigate the effect of temperature on turnip peroxide enzyme. Taking a look at the experiment as a group a decision was made on who does what, so that we are prepared to start the experiment as soon as we settle into the lab. We worked as a team to plan and carry out an investigation, having coming up with instructions as a step to step of how to do the experiment. Carrying out an experiment with a group to investigate enzyme peroxide from turnips, this enzyme helps with the division of hydrogen peroxide developed in the cells during aerobic
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY 1. To assess and compare students’ performance level of experimental group who are exposed to open-ended approach and control group who are treated with traditional approach. 2. To determine the significant difference between the two groups: 2.1. pretest; 2.2.
My research question is "What are the effects of using a stable truss versus not using a stable truss in bridge design?". The contest that has been chosen is the Bridge Design Contest. The Bridge Design contest is an online competition where students in 6-12th grade compete using a bridge design computer program. The date of entry to the competition is January 11, 2016 at 1:00 PM EST, that is also the day the bridge design computer program is released. The competition starts January 12, 2016 at 1:00 PM EST and goes to April 22, 2016 at 1:00 PM.
A variable in quantitative research is “a characteristic or attribute of an individual or an organization that can be measured or observed and that varies among the people or organizations being studied” (Creswell, 2009:50). Independent variables are expected to cause influence or affect other (often termed dependent) variables (Creswell, 2009). In this pre-experimental design, L1 (Arabic) writing skill is the independent variable and Saudi EFL L2 English performance is the dependent variable.
