Independent Vs. Dependent

Topic Problem IF the increases THEN will that cause of the to increase?

Hypothesis I predict that if increases then will increase because

Independent Variable The independent variable is Each of these experimental groups were selected to be changed on purpose to test because

Dependent Variable The dependent variable is The unit of measurement is The device that measures this is a

Experiment Plan 1. “IF the increases THEN will that cause to increase? 2. The four independent experimental groups I will test are 3. The dependent outcome variable I will numerically measure is   4. To take the numerical measurements, I will use the following device or piece of equipment: 5. I will record the numerical measurements in the following units: 6. To make my project unique I can invent, create, construct, make or design

Research Instructions What is the scientific reasoning that explains the cause and effect relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable? What specific part(s) of the independent variable cause the dependent-variable to change? How does each specific part of the independent variable cause the dependent-variable to change? What is the scientific reasoning that explains what you are going to change and what you are going to change about it to try to cause the dependent-variable to do the desired effect more or less? What is the scientific reasoning that explains why you predict one experimental group will have the greatest desired effect?

Research Instructions Narrow the focus of the IF/THEN question or problem that your science project will investigate by identifying specific materials and/or quantities that will be tested and used in the experiment Devise the step-by-step procedures Devise measuring techniques that are accurate and reliable Identify and explain proper safety techniques and proper disposal procedures for your experiment Additional Extension Research Topics Find ideas to help you invent, create, construct, make or design something unique or original Identify possible applications or uses for the results of your project Explain the benefits of solving your project or why solving your project is important

Science Fair Power Point Worksheets Each slide is formatted on a 8.5” × 11” slide with a 0.5” margin which enables these power point slides to be used in a multitude of ways. Teachers may use them as a slide show presentation for class discussion and instruction. Students may use them as worksheets that can be completed by editing/rewriting the instructional guidelines written in gray font. (NOTE: The text may only be edited while in “Normal” view.) Teachers may have students submit worksheets electronically using an Angel drop box. Slides completed by students can be used as an electronic display board slide show for presenting their project. Slides completed by students can be printed and then attached to a traditional cardboard display board for presenting their project. Slides completed by students can be printed and used as a formal report.
