This year’s project relates well to everyday life. In today’s society saving money has became very relevant, one way to make that easier is not wasting hard earn money on foods & fruits that will spoil with a few days. This experiment uses scientific knowledge to get an accurate account on which method of storing banana will keep the fresh the longest without spots and bruising. A hypothesis for the experiment would be If the banana is stored in the refrigerator then it will have less spots, because “You can slow down the banana ripening process by storing the fruit in the refrigerator” (Chiquita, 2014.) For this experiment placing bananas in places that people most likely store their bananas will make this experiment become useful to all. …show more content…
Bananas give of gases called ethylene. It not only helps development of the banana it is what helps give the banana its color. Lots of fruits give off this type of gas but bananas happen to give off a large quantity if it. So much ethylene gas is given off in a banana that it can actually help stunt the growth of nearby fruits. Because these fruits grow so fast, what will keep them ripe with the least amount of spots, and that’s why this experiment is so valuable and relatable.
Ethylene gas is the main part of the bananas growth. So what exactly is ethylene gas? Ethylene gas is a natural hormone that is released in the form of gas. The human cannot either smell or see it. Ethylene is a small hydrocarbon gas. (Blakenship, 2000). It “triggers cells to degrade” (Science, 2014) then the ethylene can go forth and perform its task such as changing the color of the fruit, the texture of the fruit, and is thought of as an aging hormone. (Science, 2014).
There are three bananas in this experiment being placed in three different places. One banana will be placed on the countertop. A regular countertop provides room temperature which is the control of the experiment. At room temperature the fruit takes its natural course of growth and development. This will not create any extra progression or regression of the banana. Therefore the banana can go through its natural process which is “during maturation ethylene gas can naturally be produced to trigger the turning of color of
The hypothesis behind this experiment is that the Gibberellic acid has a positive growth effect on the plant and causes it grow larger in height.
Research questions are formulated in a study to inquire about variables, both independent and dependent variables, and the relationship between them. Research questions are categorized into two, that is, qualitative and quantitative research questions. Qualitative questions are used in qualitative research like case studies, surveys and action research where the approach is non-numerical and analyses special phenomena that occur in nature. Quantitative research on the other hand is more of a systematic approach with measurable numerical quantities that go through analysis to prove a hypothesis. Finally, the research hypothesis is either approved or disapproved with regards to the results of the analysis (Laureate Online Education B.V.
Madeline’s debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan is 31.85 percent; without the college loan it is 14.07 percent. According to the 20 percent rule, she cannot afford the college loan. However, after Madeline pays off her credit card debts, her debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan will be 17.5 percent. Therefore, once she pays off her credit cards, she will be able to afford the loan. [ANSWER: 19.48%]
A child/'s first educators are usually their parents/carers. By working in an successful partnership you can help build on and strengthen their learning, therefore reducing the huge pressure on the child/ children's parents or carers. Often by supporting the child's parents or carers, you'r helping them to get more enjoyment and understanding from their child or children, whilst simulatously improving the parents/carers views and self image as a parent or carer. You must share information about the child's progress, achievements, and milestones such as successfully potty training and/ or trying a variety of new foods with the child/ children parents/ carers. The type of information you share, usually strengthens your partnership, and occasionally will encourage the parents/ carers to carry on certain aspects of their child's learning at home.
First, before starting my experiment I did some research on the growth of lima beans, so that I could start the base of the project. According to research done at the University of
~ Petrina and Horace will rate the bananas chosen for the sample. Of course, they will not be told which group the bananas come from. The ratings will be averaged for each year’s production and the average ratings will be compared. If the average rating for last year’s crop is more than 20% higher than the average rating for this year’s crop, this year’s crop will be judged to be worse than last year’s crop
From the above quotes, it can be seen that participants use positive relationships with the young people to shape future behaviours. It can be deduced that these trusting relationships enable the youth support workers to access more personal and detailed information about the young person. This information can be used to develop interventions that will be meaningful to the young person’s need, increasing the chances of the intervention being successful. Without the relationship building method, it is suggested that the young people would only disclose brief information, leaving the youth support workers to assume the young person’s needs and problems without enough information. The participants also emphasised using this positive relationship to engage the young people in the service and the interventions available. This
This experiment involved the testing of pill bugs and whether or not pill bugs prefer fruit over vegetables. The experiment results concluded that the hypothesis was incorrect; that pill bugs do not prefer fruit over vegetables. In the experiment, we observed twenty pill bugs over several five minute intervals. After five minutes, the number of pill bugs near the apple and lettuce were counted, as well as the ones that remained in the center of the container. The experiment was repeated, and the lettuce and apple locations were switched the second time to make sure location was not a factor in the results. In the first thirty-minute experiment, the pill bugs seemed to start off and gradually move toward the lettuce. Near the end of the experiment,
An anomaly will be that when the mass of the potato was measured for 6% of sugar solution, the mass at time 5minutes was high then it decreased sharply at times 10 minutes to time 20 minutes this shows that the pressure with which the potato shrunk made the potato less rigid which made the cell membrane of the potato start shrink from the cell itself therefore causing the mass to decrease, also from 20% to 60% of sugar solution was used the mass of the potato decreased sharply as time went on which also shows that the cell membrane of the potato has plasmolysed which shows that the cell membrane has pulled away from the cell which shows with the shrinkage of the potato.
The second step of the experiment was to soak the seeds in water overnight. This action was made to prepare the seeds for germination and making them more softer and less rigid. The seeds were placed in a bowl and were covered by tin foil. It was set up on the refrigerator to minimize any outside interference that may come to it. After a full night of absorbing the water, the seeds were ready to start the next stage.

The author of the book, “The Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World” (2008), Dan Koeppel, who is a famous journalist describes in a fascinating way banana’s cultural importance, threats associated with the crops of banana in the future and banana’ history. Banana is a very delicious fruit and is eaten all over the world. Banana is one of the world’s fourth largest harvests in the world. Dole and Chiquita are eminent American based distributors and producers of banana. They are claiming to produce the banana on low price. In this book, Koeppel discusses the risks associated to the plantation of banana around the world. He also discusses the fact that due to blight, the plantation of banana is destroyed (Koeppel, 2008). He points out that the farmers and the producers have no insight at all regarding this matter (Koeppel, 2008).
Marking hypothesis is extremely helpful in clarifying criminal conduct. Marking hypothesis is one of the speculations which clarify the reasons for freak and criminal conduct in the public arena. It gives a knowledge on what could make an individual be pulled in to criminal conduct rather than ethically attractive
Get ready for the dangerous ride of a banana getting crushed, smashed, and absorbed through the digestive system. “Watch out for the involuntary muscles which they can’t even control and voluntary muscles they can control, but will still use thriving to help get our nutrients by crushing us.” everyone has always said but, that didn’t stop him. Once Banana was ripe enough the farmer has picked him. Banana thought is was chosen for an amusement park. because everyone else says it’ll be like a scary rollercoaster, he took it literally…
Quantitative research design is the standard experimental method of most scientific disciplines. These experiments are sometimes referred to as true science, and use traditional mathematical and statistical means to measure results conclusively. They are most commonly used by physical scientists, although social sciences, education and economics have been known to use this type of research. It is the opposite of qualitative research. Quantitative experiments all use a standard format, with a few minor inter-disciplinary differences, of generating a hypothesis to be proved or disproved. This hypothesis must be provable by mathematical and statistical means, and is the basis around which the whole experiment is designed. Randomization of any study groups is essential, and a control group should be included, wherever possible. A sound quantitative design should only manipulate one variable at a time, or statistical analysis becomes cumbersome and open to question. Ideally, the research should be constructed in a manner that allows others to repeat the experiment and obtain similar results.
