Mitchell Spangle PHS 104 LAB EXERCISE 1 -7 1.) What patterns do you observe based on the information in Table 4? a. Based on the table we can see that the fish count goes up along with the PPM of the dissolved oxygen until it reaches what appears to be the max number of fish that can be in the body of water regardless of the Dissolved oxygen. At a ratio of 12/15 O2 to fish 2.) Develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen measured in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water. a. I hypothesis that the body of water will only allow a maximum of 15 fish regardless of the dissolved oxygen. 3.) What would your experimental approach be to test this hypothesis? a. Have a set body of water a 10 gallon fish tank everything being equal. 4.) What would be the independent and dependent variables? a. The dependent variable would be the type of fish, water temp, enclosure. b. The independent variable would be the adders of oxygen to the water in one and fish to the other. 5.) What would be your control? a. A 3 rd tank with 13 fish in it at 10(PPM) of dissolved oxygen based on the chart this is balanced before the fish start to fall of 6.) What type of graph would be appropriate for this data set? Why? a. A plot/line chart would be best to show a comparison of the independent variables added and results 7.) 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 Chart Title Dissolved oxygen Number of Fish --- EXERCISE 2 --- 1.) Testable a. This would be quantitative. b. Hypothesis: Placing a plant on a windowsill result in it growing three inches faster per day compared to when it is placed on a cofee table in the middle of the living room. Public
Mitchell Spangle PHS 104 LAB EXERCISE 1 -7 i. Null Hypothesis: There is no significant diference in the growth rate of a plant when placed on a windowsill compared to when it is placed on a cofee table in the middle of the living room. c. This I believe would be a simple experiment to test. Take the same plan in the same pot with the same soil adding the same amount of water equally one in the window and on on a cofee table and record the results. d. The Dependent variables would be the constants water, pot size, soil composition. i. The independent variables would be the amount of sunlight each one get, the amount of UV rays each one gets as the window “U factor” would have to be taken into account as well. Along with the weather, what time of year it is can be set but the weather itself is hard to predict. e. Data can be collected in a few ways but perhaps the most efficient way would be to set up two highspeed cameras with a vertical ruler or measuring tap stood separately but next to each plant as to interfere with plants light source. And record the plants growth. f. I would present data with a chart as follows. i. (Please note that these numbers are made up and do not represent actual data) ii. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 0 5 10 15 20 Chart Title Days Plant A (window) growth Plant B (Table) growth g. I would analyze this data using the highspeed camera doing a time lapse to track and progress to growth of the plants over time and char that time like the example above 2.) Testable a. This would be quantitative. b. Hypothesis: Putting the teller at the bank with brown hair against the other tellers would show that the teller with the brown hair is taller i. Null Hypothesis: there is no measurable diference between the tellers based on high c. I would line up all the tellers against a measuring stick all the tellers would be without shoes or socks and the measurement would be taken from the top of the head not the top of the hair. d. The dependent variables would be the level floor and same messureing stick, i. The independent variable would be the height that the teller would be. e. We can collect this date simply by lining up the tellers and recording their heights f. A simple bar graph would be the best way to illustrate this. g. I would analyze the data collected via the measurements and record it. 3.) I don’t think this is testable, there are to many variables. Public
Mitchell Spangle PHS 104 LAB EXERCISE 1 -7 4.) I’m not sure if its testable or not technically it is but you would only need to use simple observation. a. This would be quantitative. b. Hypothesis: the Italian restaurant across the street will close at 9pm as opposed to the one two blocks away. c. Simple observation can test this by having one person stand out side each restaurant with synchronized watches and observe what time each one closes. Or you could call each restaurant and ask them when the close. d. The dependent variables would be the time zone, synchronized watches or a phone connection based on what method yours going to use to test. i. The independent variable would be if a special even would to be going on at one or both restaurants. e. We can collect this data with simple observation and record what is observed. f. I would use a simple bar graph i. Place A Place B 8:24 PM 8:38 PM 8:52 PM 9:07 PM 9:21 PM 9:36 PM 9:50 PM 10:04 PM 10:19 PM Close time g. I would analyze the data collected via the observations and record it. 5.) Not testable 6.) Not testable --- EXERCISE 3 --- 1.) Start with the given value: 46.0 g. Then divide the given value by 1000 to convert grams to kilograms: 46.0 g / 1000 = 0.046 kg. Therefore, 46.0 grams is equal to 0.046 kilograms. 2.) Start with the given value: 57 seconds. Then divide the given value by 60 to convert seconds to minutes: 57 seconds / 60 = 0.95 minutes. Therefore, 57 seconds is equal to 0.95 minutes. Public
