Variables: there are three types of variables in an experiment — control, independent variable, and dependent variable.

a.) The control(s) are variables that are maintained the same. Which two variables are controls in Model 1?

and

b.) The independent variable is the one that the experimenter changes in an experiment. It’s what you are testing to see how it affects something else. Which one is the independent variable?

c.) The dependent variable is what changes based on the independent variable. It’s what you measure in the experiment to see the results. Which one is the dependent variable?

Using the information from Model 1, complete the following statement about the relationship between the mass of the balls and the kinetic energy of each ball.

The players of the ping-pong game are hitting the balls so they travel the same speed. However, each ball they are hitting has a different mass. They learned from their measurements that as the mass of the balls increase, the kinetic energy of the ball will .

You are parent of 5 year-old and 7 year-old boys who love baseball and playing ball. But their favorite place to play is in the house. You go to the store and are able to choose to buy one of two different types of balls.
