Trey and randall are conducting an experiment to test the effects of watering plants with deionized water compared to tap water. they take 20 plants of the same size and species, kept in the same area in front of a large window of their classroom, and water half with tap water and half with deionized water. all plants receive the same amount of water daily for three weeks. the plants watered with tap water grew an average of two inches taller. when they were finished, they reported their results in the school newspaper. would their experimental findings be considered valid scientific research? a) no, because they weren't working with a scientist. b) yes, because they have all elements of a valid experiment. c) no, because their work has not been reviewed by other scientists. d) no, because they didn't do enough research before their experiment.

Sea levels are rising due to climate change while increasing numbers of people are moving into coastal areas. to accommodate more people, there has been increased construction of beachfront resorts and condominiums. how is this impacting sea turtle numbers and biodiversity and why? a. the increased human population in coastal areas has meant that more food is available to the turtles (e.g., dropped food, waste from restaurants), which has led to an increase in the numbers and diversity of sea turtles. b. there has been very little change in the numbers and biodiversity of sea turtles because the planet is so vast that they can simply relocate to less crowded beaches. c. this has resulted in a decrease in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because it is restricting available nesting sites, and hence reproduction. d. this has resulted in an increase in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because people are around to protect them from natural predators.

In an experiment examining the effects tai chi on arthritis pain, callahan (2010) selected a large sample of individuals with doctor-diagnosed arthritis. half of the participants immediately began a tai chi course and the other half (the control group) waited 8 weeks before beginning. at the end of 8 weeks, the individuals who had experienced tai chi had less arthritis pain that those who had not participated in the course.
