    how to write an experiment without really doing the experiment?
    I just need suggestions on the best way to complete these questions for a passing grade..


    Observations / Introduction: Describe your observation. Include background information about your observations that you have found using references. List and cite references using APA format.

    Question: Ask a question about the observation that you have made.

    Hypothesis: Write a statement that describes your explanation for the observation and question.

    Prediction: What do you predict as outcomes (results) of this experiment? (An “If … Then” Statement)

    Controlled Experiment and Methods: Describe the experiment, variables to be held constant, variable to be tested, and controls. What data will be collected? Keep this simple and test only one variable at a time; holding the others constant.

    Results: Give the results (data) for the experiment. This will be created (imagined) by you since you are not actually doing this experiment.

    Conclusion / Discussion: Do you reject or accept the hypothesis based on the results? Discuss what this means in terms of the hypothesis, or need for additional experiments, or perhaps practical use of the results.

    I suggest the best way for YOU to get a passing grade is for YOU to actually do the experiment..

    You may find someone here to help you through it,but not actually do it for you.

    What you are proposing is also called "dry labbing," or cheating. It is very easy. You just make stuff up. I don't think anyone here is going to help you make things up. :) <http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dry&#37;20lab>

    Since you mention APA format, I assume you are supposed to do a psychological study. You could do something pretty quickly either by proposing a hypothesis about people's responses on the internet and then collecting data from sites like this, or by using Survey Monkey. Depends on how much time you have...
