Part I: Experimental Design is a critical component of the scientific method. There is a hypothesis that high levels of potassium in the blood can lead to slower heart rate. If potassium increases above a certain level, the heart might stop. However, it is not clear which potassium level would be considered dangerous and possibly fatal. The following are resources available for a clinical experiment:A. 4 laboratory miceB. EKG monitorsC. 4 intravenous (IV) solutions – each must be used individually in its entirety and can only be used once: 1. 10 mEq of potassium 2. 20 mEq of potassium 3. 30 mEq of potassium 4. 40 mEq of potassium Using the above resources: Design an experiment that can test the above hypothesis. Using the steps of the scientific method, organize your experiment in 4 steps, which should include a conclusion step based on the outcome. Write very clearly what you will do in each step. (4 total points, 1 point for each step)
