During the experiment, the data I collected was, that Mild maximum change of body temperature was 0.51 with a standard error of measurement of 0.6, and for Hot, the maximum change of body temperature was 0.24 with a standard error of measurement of 0.21. The data from the experiment shows that it did not support my hypothesis, but it falsifies the hypothesis instead. Instead of spicy foods cause these symptoms because it raises your body temperature, the spicy foods cause these symptoms because of a chemical reaction. Spicy foods contain capsaicin which can cause the results of the observes we made, like a running nose, stomach ache, sweat and thirst. The backup hypothesis in this experiment was correct because capsaicin is the reason behind the symptoms we experience when eating spicy foods. …show more content…
Capsaicin was also one of the problems with the experiment because we were testing if the mild and hot salsa would raise body temperature, but we did not test if capsaicin causes the symptoms from eating mild and hot salsa. Another part that went wrong in this experiment is that, the mild salsa had a higher body temperature change than hot salsa, but hot salsa had a high s.e.m than the mild
The purpose of this experiment was to identify which brand of mint gum holds its flavor the longest. The four brands I chose were Orbit, Trident, Ice Breakers, and Wrigley's Doublemint My hypothesis was that Trident brand would last the longest and Wrigley's Doublemint would last the shortest. I did not use any people in my test. I chewed the same amount of gum at a time and the gum was all the same flavor, mint. All the gum was bought at the same time from the same store. I chewed the four brands of gums between periods of time. When chewing, I timed myself with a stopwatch. When I believed the gum ran out of flavor, I stopped the timmer and recorded the time. My hypothesis was incorrect. Instead of Trident, Orbit lasted the longest. However
In the world of party chips and zesty dips, the Sensational Salsa company has created a new brand of salsa flavor. Having believe that they have created a culinary masterpiece, the company has already produced a mountains worth of their new salsa flavor. However, when they begin selling the salsa, they were shocked when the statistic showed that many children and adults did not enjoy the taste of their new flavor. Devastated by the news, the Sensational Salsa company deployed a questionable tactic to persuade more people into buying their salsa and change their attitude towards their product: they plan to pay off parents to lie on Facebook about how much they enjoyed the salsa. By employing this method of persuasive communication, the Sensational Salsa company will try to change the attitude the public has of their product both cognitively and affectively.
Cumbia serves as a unifier of Mexican people, especially families, and serves as a sociocultural outlet for celebration and upholds cultural traditions. A main theme of Mexican culture is togetherness of the family, and many celebrations create a community and place for family involvement. Celebrating together creates and maintains bonds and is an outlet for expression sharing commonalities such as cultural thoughts and ideas. Solidifying a connection in the community with people that listen to cumbia strengthens the culture and forms unity. Mexican cumbia is a significant aspect of Mexican identity and produces a gateway environment for embracing heritage and reflects a highly family and community oriented culture.
The history and development of salsa “cannot be separated from the history of migration”, meaning that the music developed and changed as it traveled the globe (Román-Velasquez: 211). Due to its global influences and popularity, salsa represents many cultures: “Initially associated with the Spanish Caribbean populations of Cuba and Puerto Rico, salsa was soon claimed as the voice of the New York City barrio and as representative of the experiences of the Latino community in the United States” (Román-Velasquez: 211). The term salsa describes more than just the music, but also “ a 'manner of making music' which is a flexible blend of many genres and which is continually reblended and given slightly different 'flavours' in different locations” (Román-Velasquez: 211). As salsa globalized, so did salsa dancing, adding another performance factor to the genre. Salsa clubs and fans in
Writing in Biology is different than writing in other courses like English. In Biology, the writer must conduct an experiment prior to writing a lab report on the findings. For this lab report, I had to conduct an experiment comparing the cellular respiration rates of germinating peas and non-germinating peas. Before beginning the experiment, we had to create a thesis that would state which set of peas would have the higher respiration rate, germinated or non-germinated peas. We were expected to make a thesis based on our prior knowledge of how cellular respiration works in plants. I conducted the experiment during class two weeks before the lab report was due. The experiment consisted of placing peas in a Biochamber where the levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen would be measured every 6 seconds for 3 minutes. After completing that, my instructor stressed that we repeat the experiment 5 more times for each set of peas. After collecting the data, we compare...
Going into details of the article, I realized that the necessary information needed to evaluate the experimental procedures were not included. However, when conducting an experiment, the independent and dependent variable are to be studied before giving a final conclusion.
Gina Valdes was born in Los Angeles, California and grew up on both sides of the U.S.A-Mexico border. Growing up on both sides of the border greatly influenced her life and her writing, since she was able to experience both traditions and customs at first hand. Crossing borders and identity are both reoccurring themes that Gina decides to interpret in her writings. The English and Spanish languages as well as both cultures weave through her life. Valdes received degrees from the English and Spanish departments at the University of California, San Diego. She has also taught both languages at various universities such as at the University of California, San Diego and San Diego State University. Gina Valdes is the author of two bilingual poetry collections Puentes y Fronteras (Bridges and Borders) and Comiendo Lumbre (Eating Fire) both are from the Bilingual Press. English con Salsa is a poem from one of her poetry collections where she uses all the techniques and themes she is best known for.
In conclusion, the title and context of the article are clear, and appropriately match the hypothesis of the authors. There is consistency between the objective of the experiment and its relationship to science. This writer found some issues in the overall presentation of information, in that the text lacks smooth transition, and was difficult to read and follow.
As the hypothesis states the consumption of hot salsa causes sweat to occur, due to an increase in body temperature, experimenting using a different brand or type of salsa containing a greater amount of heat or spice would be effective, as a great extent of spice would support the stated hypothesis and would result in a higher increase in body temperature. Other logical and more effectual aspects of the experiment which can be altered would include, the portions and amounts of mild and hot salsa which are provided throughout the experiment. Altering the portions and amounts of mild and hot salsa given to more massive and larger servings would result in a successful experiment, as the object or motive of the lab is to identify if the stated hypothesis is accurate and
The main purpose of this lab was to conduct an experiment with tobacco seeds in different environments to see if it could change the phenotype of the seedlings. My hypothesis for this lab was that the environment has an influence on the development of a phenotype. My hypothesis was supported in two different ways. First of all, after switching the environment, we had more green seedlings than what we started with due to the chlorophyll being activated with the light. Second of all, we had seeds that had the chlorophyll gene sprout an Albino stem. Even when we conducted the experiment we found similar results. This is supported because when we first started the experiment, we had 25 seeds in the dark and 25 in the light. Although the first seedlings
My hypothesis states if the pinto beans are watered with the “acid rain” mixture, then the acid rain would negatively affect whether the pinto bean will germinate because acid rain can wash away nutrients and poison plants with toxic metals which could affect whether the bean germinates. According to my data, my hypothesis was correct even though one of the beans with acid rain did germinate but that is 1 out of 20 beans so it’s very unlikely that it would happen again. My hypothesis was correct because my data proves that the pH of the acid rain mixture does affect whether the bean would germinate. Which makes sense because my background information talks about the negative affect of acid rain on plants. In conclusion my hypothesis was correct
The null hypothesis at the inception of this lab stated that the breathing rate of a gold fish would not be effected with decreased water temperature around it. The alternate and working hypothesis however stated that decreasing the water’s temperature will decrease the goldfish’s breaths per minute. After preforming the experiment, my results support my original hypothesis as the fish’s breaths per minute did drop when the water temperature lowered. In my group’s experiment, the fish’s breathing rate stayed constant after only decreasing the temperature by 5 ◦C, the breathing rate then plummeted once the water temperature was at 10 ◦C. As a total class, the experiment further supported the hypothesis with the breathing rate per minute dropping
The basic outline of the experiment consisted of a control group and an experimental group; both groups contained endurance-trained cyclists who had fasted beforehand. The cyclists were required to maintain a constant 70% aerobic workload while they cycled. The control group was given a sweet drink that did not suffice as an energy source; the drink contained aspartame (NutraSweet) which has no nutritional value. The other drink contained nutritionally useful carbohydrate that had an equally sweet flavor. Cyclists were not told which drink they were receiving. This was done to avoid biases (such as cycling harder with the carbohydrate drink to "please" the scientists) from entering the experiment and thus corrupting the data.
Spain, the third largest country in Europe, has a strong history and diverse culture dating back to when the Iberians first inhabited the land. The country lies between the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean and the land ranges from mountains to meadows. Over hundreds of centuries, many different civilizations have inhabited the land influencing the people there today. From the Visigoths and Celts to the Romans of the Middle Ages, Spain has received a rich history and background. One of the strongest of its cultures is the food. All of these cultures brought a particular type of food and combined and blended with the food that exists there today. Spain is very popular for olives, vineyards, and citrus fruit. Another well-liked food is garlic, including varieties of peppers and spices. Once spice specifically—golden saffron—is essential in many recipes, including the Spanish Paella. There are many distinguished Spanish foods that encompass the daily life and culture of the country.
The results of study one were the same as the purposed ideas. Yet in study two, their hypothesis was incorrect.
