Control variables ___________ the experimental design or data collection. They must be ___________________ in order to keep the results _____________ .

Ex: The research question of an experiment is 'How does the amount of water affect plant growth?" One control variable might be ________________________ , as it could affect the results of the independent variables or between trials. To keep their results reliable, they will control for this with ____________________________________________________ .

Why was your response from Q.10 the correct data table compared to the other options?

Background Information/ Research Situation may be found...
select all that apply

How should your research question be worded?
select one answer

How does the IV affect the DV?

How does the DV affect the IV?

What is true about the Hypothesis?
select all that apply

Written as a "if...then" sentence

Is a personal opinion

Is a scientific prediction

May change during or after the experiment

Must be justified with scientific reasoning

Categorize each as either an elements of IV or DV
drag each element into one category

Number of trials
ex: 3 trials is standard
5 values is standard
Is measured during the expiriment
Data collected may be graph, or may need to be converted first
ex:
Raw data - not graphed
Averages calculated - graphed
Belongs on the Y-axis of a graph
Range of values and their units
ex: 5g, 10g, 15g, 20g, 25g
Belongs on the X-axis of a graph
Is manipulated/ changed during the expiriment

Control variables ___________ the experimental design or data collection. They must be ___________________ in order to keep the results _____________ .

Ex: The research question of an experiment is 'How does the amount of water affect plant growth?" One control variable might be ________________________ , as it could affect the results of the independent variables or between trials. To keep their results reliable, they will control for this with ____________________________________________________ .

For each control variable, your Lab Report should include...
select all that apply

The control variable

How you controlled for this in your experiment 

The effect it could have on your experiment

Your Procedure/Method must be numbered

True

False

Your Procedure/Method should ....

Include who did what ex: Zainab added 15g of water

Include amounts and units ex: 15g

Include enough detail that it could be replicated

Include units of measuring instruments ex: 150ml Beaker

Be checked for clarity by a friend or family member before handing in

Include every detail ex: walk into class, put on lab coat, clean up at the end                                                         

Which table includes all of the necessary elements of a data table?
select one answer

Why was your response from Q.10 the correct data table compared to the other options?

Match the elements of Graphs with their definitions/functions
Reorder the left column to match the descriptions in the right column

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Axis Title		lives on the X-axis
Scale		lives on the Y-axis
Independent Variable		the trend in the data is linear/ makes the shape of a line
Outlier		the trend in the data is exponential/ curves
Dependent Variable		includes variable and units
Line Graph/Scatter Plot		is often the Research Question
(0,0)		drawn in pencil with and X not a dot
Graph Title		at least one variable is Categorical data
Plotted points		both variables are numerical/ measurable
Exponential best fit line		appropriately spaced on grid paper
Linear best fit line		the intersection (crossing point) of the X and Y axis
Bar Graph		a data point which is far from the Best fit line

Categorize each as either an elements of Conclusion or Evaluation/ Analysis
drag each element into one category

Are your data points reliable?
ex: can they fit on a best fit line? Are there too many outliers?
Further scientific reasoning that supports (or explains the faults in) your hypothesis
If you could continue this experiment, what would you investigate next?
Does the evidence support your Hypothesis?
Is there enough data?
ex: 5 IV values and 3 trials is standard
Describe the data trends
Was you method reliable?
ex: were your measurements percise enough?
What were the sources of error? How did they affect the experiment? How could you have controlled for them?
Evaluate the validity of your experiment
Describe the effect of the IV on the DV, with evidence from the data
