Document Summary
The nal type of research category is human vs animal: animal uses animals for studies, human uses humans for research. Using animal research we can use: observational research, gaining knowledge and information just by observing animals and plants, example seals that can dive in the ocean, hold their breath for 30 minutes and be. How: experimental research, researchers decide to use animals as subjects to test treatments that are still in the developing stages to see if they are safe for human trials. We use animals because: they"re good for basic research, we have high genetic similarity with them, we have a high degree of control over them, you can get a large sample of them easily. Physical vs life sciences: in life sciences it is harder and almost impossible to control every single aspect of the experiment, without there being some sort of extraneous variables. Population: the whole group that has one or more of the same characteristics.
