Harrison WorldLAB Symposium

 

Topic:Cloning
 
Group Members:Courtney and Jennifer
 
Question or Hypothesis guiding the project:
1)What gender knows the most about cloning according to the survey we made?
 
Overview of the three required learning activities:
1)Made presentation board with information and results involving our survey and information we gathered for the survey.
2)We have started to question fifty people with our survey.
3)We produced a spreadsheet and graphs involving our results of survey.
4)Made a webpage with America Online and deleted it off the internet, but is on Dr. Brown's web page as a link.
 
Findings (list):
1)There are many methods of artificial cloning:
a)plant breeding
b)grafting which is used in horticulture
2)Spain has banned human cloning along with many other countries around the world.
3)The first successful instance of cloning was the cloned sheep Dolly.
4)During the second half of the twentieth century, the possibility of animal cloning arose.
5) Overall, women knew more about our cloning questions.
 
Conclusion: Was hypothesis proven correct, or incorrect - OR how was question answered:
Our question was answered in many different ways. First of all, each question had different results in the gender that answered it correctly. Overall, out of the ten women and the ten men we surveyed, women got more correct answers total, which shows that (from our survey) women know more about our cloning questions.
 
Questions raised for further study:
1)If the surveys were designed for specific age groups, would the results be different?
2)How can America be educated about cloning?
3)If we did the same number of surveys on a specific gender, would the results be different?
