Hiccups are involuntary spasms of the diaphragm usually occurring when one consumes food or liquid too quickly. When this happens, the diaphragm becomes irritated and involuntarily contracts followed by a rapid closure of the vocal chords.

When the diaphragm becomes irritated, it yanks down, causing air to rush into the throat.

When this air hits the voice box, it causes a hiccup.

Hiccups can be caused by eating too quickly or too much, an irritated stomach or throat, or feelings of nervousness or excitement.

A student conducted an experiment to test whether talking to plants would help them to grow faster. The student talked to one gr
timurjin [86]
The answer I believe would be talking to plants may or may not helps plants grow faster because the amount of water given was likely different for each group. I say this because there are more than one manipulated variables. (Each experiment should only have one manipulated variable to really be able to come to a conclusion) The student wants to see if talking to the plant will help. But the student also used different watering methods. So there was more than one manipulated variable. This can not give a good enough result because we do not know which affected the plant- the talking or the watering method/amount.

Hope this helps!
