Step 2A: Ask a Question to Research with a lab
Step 2B: Do Research
Dependent Variable
Evidence for a conclusion (claim) NEVER comes from...
Step 5: Analyze the Results of the Lab
If I think my data from the experiment is wrong then...
Step 6: Conclusion (Final Claim)
If I think my data from the experiment is wrong then I NEVER
Controlled Variable
Evidence for a conclusion (claim) comes from...
Iterative
Step 4: Perform an Experiment to answer the question
Step 1: Make observations about the natural world
Independent Variable
Step 3: Make a Hypothesis (claim)
I write a final claim based on the evidence anyway OR redo the lab again
Answer the question "How does the lever length effect the distance of the car" based only on our previous knowlege before performing this experiment
Learned about normal force, what it is, and how it acts on the MT Car
A process that repeats a series of steps over and over
The variable that we measure in an experiment
Answer the question "How does the lever length effect the distance of the car" based only on the results of the lab we did with this assignment
The variable that is made different in an experiment
Changed the lever length on a mousetrap car and then saw which went farther by measuring it
Data or observations only from an experiment or the environment
The variable that we keep the same in the experiment or it will effect/throw off the results
My opinions on what I think the answer is
How does the lever length effect the distance of the car
Reviewed the observations we made during our first experiment (how the mass effected the speed of the car)
Looked at our experimental results of which car went farther: the shorter or longer lever
Ignore the evidence (experimental data) and write what I think the correct answer is
