Experiment Research and The Scientific Method There is a place for accepting hypotheses based on the results of repetition in scientific research. This approach is referred to as the inductive method. Numerous observations should be made over a period of time. After the same cause-and-effect process is observed repeatedly, a hypothesis can be accepted as true inductively. No formal testable hypothesis was set up, but there is enough experiential evidence to accept that an outcome will predictably result from a specific action.
Research: Two specific topics that I would have to research on the topic are the best lighting condition for the type of plant that is being grown, and the ideal nutrients needed for the plant to grow. To find the ingredients in the soil I would have to look at the back of the bag or possibly look on the products website for details. To find the best lighting condition I would look at the packet or tag that the plants or seeds come in. This will state where I should keep the plants during the experiment. Hypotheses: I believe that changing the soil that the plant grows in to the highest nutrient rich soil will aid in the growth and survival of the vegetation –One that I will test I believe that increasing the
-type of plant; buy the same plants -type of pot; but the same pots -same amount of water; measure how much water you give each plant -same environment; place the plants in the same area -same amount of sunlight; keep all plants out of the shade. Part two: Purpose; Max wants to grow vegatables. He asks which grows faster, Spinach or lettuce? Research: He can go talk to someone that owns and runs a green house. He can also go to the library and reseach growing spinach and lettuce.
These theories will follow a brief insight and background into the scientific method and the process’ it contains and concluding in why only some students learn to practice the scientific method at university. What is the scientific method? The scientific method is the establishment of techniques use to test a phenomena or acquire a new knowledge subject to its own specific reasoning. The knowledge we acquire comes from testing, observing and collecting data in accordance to a hypothesis. The scientific method is staged out in steps the first being developing a hypothesis.
An activity for 2-3 year olds could be brightly decorating simple old yoghurt pots with their own personal bold style. I would show them one I’d previously made and give them idea, then give them brightly coloured paints, glitter and coloured card and paper. They could create their own design. These decorations could then be hung up on the wall or from the ceiling. Another activity for the children could be involved in a session tasting the many different foods of the cultural groups making them aware of the diversity.
A student enters the laboratory setting and is getting ready to set up. What preparations should be made? (5 pts.) The first thing the student should do is disinfect bench tops with a 10% bleach solution. 4.
The reason why i think the plant growth light allowed the plant to grow much faster and fuller is because of the different types of wavelength of light generated by the light. The wavelengths that the plant growth light are different from the regular light because it produces wavelengths that the plant can use more efficiently. Plants use most of the wavelengths of light but only a certain few types of wavelengths allow the plant to operate at its full potential while doing photosynthesis. As technology improves so does the way we can grow plant more efficiently not only for home aquariums but for the masses of people around the world by growing corn and other foods faster so we can meet the demands from
PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment is to determine whether magnets have an effect on the growth of radish seedlings. I became interested in the study of the effect magnets, when I discovered that magnets could make you heal faster. Later I decided that that it would be a better idea to study the effect of magnets on plants to keep it a safe experiment. The information gained from this experiment may be used to help gardeners growing radishes or other plants. HYPOTHESIS My hypothesis is that the stem of each plant will be attracted to the magnet.
species of plants, colours, metals tested, etc. When your independent variable is categoric, you need to draw a bar chart. Control variables are all the other factors which might affect your results, i.e. you need to keep them the same to make it a fair test. Evidence must be looked at carefully to make sure it is: • reproducible – would others who repeated the experiment get the same pattern of results?
