The Question • is specific to your investigation, and must be answered
by measuring. • The question includes the Independent and Dependent
variables
The Test of a good question Is it Objective and Quantitative?

► Objective = Based on Facts
Example: The Fastest Class
► Quantitative = Uses a Quantity
Example: The Largest Class
► Qualitative = Uses a Quality
Example: The Best Class
► Subjective = Based on Opinions

Examples For Questions:– The grass is not growing in certain parts of the field.
• Is the amount of light affecting how high the grass grows?– All paper towels are the same.
• Does one type of paper towel pick up more water then the other?– The Red Sox are not winning games
• Would the Red Sox win more games then the Yankees if they had the same payroll?

Variable
Any factor that could affect the outcome of the experiment
![Page 7: Designing a Lab Standard 1: Design and conduct scientific investigations using appropriate vocabulary, tools, and techniques](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93cab/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Types of Variables• Independent Variable (IV)-
Variable that is being tested/Investigated“I Changed _________”
• Dependent Variable (DV)Variable that changes in response
to the experiment“Data collected was __________”
• Constants-Variables that are kept the same throughout the experiment
![Page 8: Designing a Lab Standard 1: Design and conduct scientific investigations using appropriate vocabulary, tools, and techniques](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93cab/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Independent Variable (IV)
Variable that is being tested“I Changed _________”
Examples from Warp Speed:-Changing the order of the people, -Changing the shape people were in,-Changing the way the ball was past
![Page 9: Designing a Lab Standard 1: Design and conduct scientific investigations using appropriate vocabulary, tools, and techniques](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93cab/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Dependent Variable (DV)
Variable that changes in responseto the experiment
“Data collected was __________”
Example from Warp Speed:-Time it took the ball to get through the order
![Page 10: Designing a Lab Standard 1: Design and conduct scientific investigations using appropriate vocabulary, tools, and techniques](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93cab/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Constants
Variables that are kept the same throughout the experiement
• Examples from Warp Speed:– Same order– Same ball– Same rules
![Page 11: Designing a Lab Standard 1: Design and conduct scientific investigations using appropriate vocabulary, tools, and techniques](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93cab/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Hypothesis
• Hypothesis is a possible explanation, a preliminary conclusion, or an educated guess at the solution.
• The hypothesis is an answer to “the question”• Hypothesis is based on what you’ve learned from
your research or prior knowledge (Basis)
![Page 12: Designing a Lab Standard 1: Design and conduct scientific investigations using appropriate vocabulary, tools, and techniques](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93cab/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Hypothesis is stated in an “if … then…” Statement. (NEVER use “I think”)
If Independent Variable, then Dependent Variable.
If something specific is done, then what will the measureable results be.
If the cause, then the effect.
![Page 13: Designing a Lab Standard 1: Design and conduct scientific investigations using appropriate vocabulary, tools, and techniques](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93cab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Examples:– The grass is not growing in certain parts of the
field.• Is the amount of light affecting how high the grass
grows?– If the grass receives more light, then it will grow higher
![Page 14: Designing a Lab Standard 1: Design and conduct scientific investigations using appropriate vocabulary, tools, and techniques](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93cab/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
–All paper towels are the same.• Do thicker paper towels pick up more water
than thinner ones?– If the paper towel is thicker, then it will pick up
more water.
![Page 15: Designing a Lab Standard 1: Design and conduct scientific investigations using appropriate vocabulary, tools, and techniques](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93cab/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
– The Red Sox are not winning games• Would the Red Sox win more games than the
Yankees if they had the same payroll? – If the Red Sox had the same payroll as the Yankees,
then they would win more games.
![Page 16: Designing a Lab Standard 1: Design and conduct scientific investigations using appropriate vocabulary, tools, and techniques](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93cab/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Basis• 2-3 Sentences that support your hypothesis• The basis is the background knowledge or research that
supports the hypothesis:(why you think the results will be
what your hypothesis predicts)
![Page 17: Designing a Lab Standard 1: Design and conduct scientific investigations using appropriate vocabulary, tools, and techniques](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93cab/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
–The grass is not growing in certain parts of the field.• Is the amount of light affecting how high
the grass grows?– If the grass receives more light, then it will
grow higher. This is because plants need light to grow. If plants do not receive light they cannot grow. In areas of the field where the grass receives more light the grass will grow higher.
![Page 18: Designing a Lab Standard 1: Design and conduct scientific investigations using appropriate vocabulary, tools, and techniques](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93cab/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
–All paper towels are the same.• Does one type of paper towel pick up
more water then the other?– If the paper towel is thicker, then it will pick
up more water. The thicker the paper towel the more space there will be to hold water molecules. If a paper towel has more space in it be able to hold water.
![Page 19: Designing a Lab Standard 1: Design and conduct scientific investigations using appropriate vocabulary, tools, and techniques](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93cab/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Design the Experiment• Write the Methods: – a list of clear and specific steps to your experiment– includes a specific materials list.
• Your procedure should:– Test only one variable at a time– Maintain constants– Use more than one trial (Ideally 3 or more)• When you repeat the exact same steps of the procedure
multiple times
– Include a control group to compare your results
![Page 20: Designing a Lab Standard 1: Design and conduct scientific investigations using appropriate vocabulary, tools, and techniques](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93cab/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Experimental Group(s)Group(s)/Trial(s) that
tests the Independent
variable
(with the “change”)
Control Group A Group or set of Trials that
do not include the Independent Variable
Used to determine the affects of the
independent variable
(no “change”, normal conditions)
