Testing his "pet" theory at a local park, he quickly finds flaws in his own experiment. This video demonstrates Adam's second test, involving better preparation, more rigorous analysis, and an exciting pasta cook-off. Showing how Adam can effectively determine the best spaghetti recipe, the program illustrates concepts that are central to the scientific method-including null, alternative, and two-tailed hypotheses; field and lab settings; sampling; primacy/recency effects; constant/random errors; and other testing principles. Graphic screens reinforce each concept and enable students to fully absorb the testing process."--FMG on Demand website Contents: Experiment research and design (03:03) -- Hypotheses : null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, two-tailed hypothesis (04:25) -- Selecting a sample (02:56) -- Experiment environments : natural or artificial (03:43) -- Quantitative data rejects null hypothesis (03:10) -- Error and bias : confounding variables (03:13) -- Debriefing participants (01:17) Available to OhioLINK member libraries Reproduction notes: Electronic reproduction.
