EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN

Work Time Work with a partner to define the variables/terms on your worksheet Work with a partner to define the variables/terms on your worksheet Also identify the variables/terms from John’s experiment Also identify the variables/terms from John’s experiment In about 15 minutes we will go over these In about 15 minutes we will go over these

Independent Variable Also called: Manipulated variable Also called: Manipulated variable Is the variable you purposely change Is the variable you purposely change The independent variable is the CAUSE of any differences you measure in the dependent variable The independent variable is the CAUSE of any differences you measure in the dependent variable

John’s Independent Variable Fertilizer types Fertilizer types

Dependent Variable Also called: Responding variable Also called: Responding variable The variable that responds to the change, and is due to the effect of the independent variable The variable that responds to the change, and is due to the effect of the independent variable This variable is measured/counted after you set up the experiment This variable is measured/counted after you set up the experiment

John’s Dependent Variable Height of plant (cm) Height of plant (cm)

Constant Factors that remain the SAME for all trials and groups Factors that remain the SAME for all trials and groups

John’s Constant Amount of water and sunlight Amount of water and sunlight

Control (Group) Group that does not contain the independent variable Group that does not contain the independent variable Also called the “No treatment group” or “normal treatment group” Also called the “No treatment group” or “normal treatment group”

John’s Control Group Flat C: no fertilizer Flat C: no fertilizer

Trial The number of organisms/object per group The number of organisms/object per group The number of times the experiment is repeated The number of times the experiment is repeated

John’s Trials 3 flats or 25 plants per flat or 1 time overall 3 flats or 25 plants per flat or 1 time overall

Hypothesis The results you expect to obtain from the experiment The results you expect to obtain from the experiment A written (if/then) statement detailing the expected results A written (if/then) statement detailing the expected results If part: discusses the independent variable and some experimental details If part: discusses the independent variable and some experimental details Then part: discusses the expected results and how the data is collected/measured) Then part: discusses the expected results and how the data is collected/measured)

John’s Hypothesis If flats of bean plants are treated with various fertilizers then Flat A’s plants receiving the commercial fertilizer will show the highest stem growth (in cm) after 5 days If flats of bean plants are treated with various fertilizers then Flat A’s plants receiving the commercial fertilizer will show the highest stem growth (in cm) after 5 days

Variables in data tables Data tables can have several arrangements, but we will look at one example (similar to the example on your homework) Data tables can have several arrangements, but we will look at one example (similar to the example on your homework)
