This experimental procedure aims to investigate how various substances affect the movement of Fortune Fish as a response mechanism. By applying different liquids (soap, lotion, and plain water) to the hand, the experiment measures the time taken for the Fortune Fish to move once placed in the hand. Each trial records the duration and type of motion observed within a 15-second window. Through systematic testing and data collection, the goal is to analyze how each liquid alters the behavior of the fish, ultimately leading to a conclusion on the effects of these substances.

Scientific Method Experimental procedure Data S: (n) data, information (a collection of facts from which conclusions may be drawn)"statistical data" S: (n) datum, data point (an item of factual information derived from measurement or research) • the specific techniques used in conducting a particular experiment
Materials • Dropper • Fortune fish • Soap • Water • Lotion • Timer (Levin)
Steps • Obtain all materials (fortune fish, water, soap, lotion) • Apply 3 drops of liquid/substance to hand for 2 seconds. • Let dry for 2 seconds - pat dry if needed with a paper towel. • Place Fortune Fish in hand and start the timer when placed. • Stop timer when fish moves not to exceed 15 Seconds. • Record time and observation of movement. • Repeat steps 2-6 with each condition of hand • Form a conclusion based on data.
