8

Tori heard an observation from a student in class stating that drinking body armor hydrates you after a workout better than water or Gatorade. After some research, she makes the assertion that Body Armor hydrates you more than any other sports drink or just plain water. She then begins to design her experiment. Match the parts of the experiment to the experiment she plans to conduct.

Independent Variable
Dependent Variable
Experimental Control
Hypothesis
Potential error

Types of drinks. Water, Gatorade, Body Armor.
Same workout before drinking
Same person during the workout
Using an athlete and a non-athlete to do the tests
Testing using the same workout routine
How hydrated the person is after drinking
Telling the person what drink is which before they drink it
