Experimentation

Prepare Textbook: Carey, S. S. (2012). A beginner’s guide to scientific method (4th ed.). Wadsworth, Cengage Learning. Chapter 4: Experimentation Prompt Answer the following Show That You Know questions for this unit: What is the relationship between the predicted outcome and the hypothesis being tested in an experiment? An experimental outcome can be compromised in two ways. What are they, and how do they differ? What is the difference between an experimental group and a control group? Discuss in detail how each of them is used. What problems do conceptually vague claims and vague predictions pose when we are designing experiments? Explain in detail. What are single- and double-blind experiments, and how do they address the problems posed by experimenter bias and experimental subject bias? Important! The textbook readings are the primary sources for these questions, but you must also use internet research. In addition to the course textbooks, you must use at least one credible reference source found on the internet for each question response. Do not use quotations. Paraphrase and cite appropriately. Do not use sources such as Wikipedia, YouTube, or blogs, as they are not credible enough for college-level scholarly work. Procedure In APA format, write 250 words per question. Label each question. You may repeat the question and follow it with your response. The words of the question do not count toward the required 250. Include an APA-formatted title page and reference page See the Instructor Guidelines page for general writing requirements. Consider the grading rubric when planning your assignment.
