Question: What makes the diver go up and down? B What we already know: The diver moved when…. C. Hypothesis: The magnet attracts the diver and makes it sink BECAUSE…... Skip 1 line D.Record basic observations of the behavior of the diver. Record at least three questions about the diver. F. Write and draw out your explanation of how the diver works We know Questions Use no more than 7 lines G. What is it about squeezing the bottle that suddenly makes something that floats sink? G. Squeezing the bottle……. What combination of air and water is best to make a diver sink and float easily? Can you make a diver out of other materials?

Label: ramp, car, photogate A,B, draw red and blue wires. Answer in a paragraph- bottom half of page. How should the photogates be set up for timing cars: 1. Should the timer be on stopwatch or interval? 2. Should light A, B or both be on? 3. Which photogate should be nearest to the top of the ramp, A or B? Describe what happens to the timer when a car rolls down ramp THROUGH 1st PHOTOGATE (PG), between the 2 PG’s and THROUGH THE 2nd PG. Using Timers 9/15/11 12 13

Variables that affect the time between photogates: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Skip 1 Definition: Experimental variable: The variable that the scientist changes to see if it changes the results. b. Which is the experimental variable? c. All other variables should be…. How should the other variables be set at the beginning of the experiment? Why? Underline the word “because” in your answer. Conclusion: Was your hypothesis correct? Why or why not: Discuss the way variables were changed in the experiment Steepness & Car Times 9/19/11 pg. 15: Problem: Do steeper ramps cause cars have shorter times? 1. a. Which tables’ tracks will have the fastest car speed? __ Skip 1 line b. Which tables’ tracks will have the shortest time ? _______ Skip 1 2. Hypothesis: (Underline the words: TIME STEEPER BECAUSE) One sentence. If the ramp is steeper, the car’s time will be ….. BECAUSE…. 3. DATA: Car Times: ______, _____, ______, _______ 14 15

Skip 1 line 2. Hypothesis: If we increase the mass of the car, it will ………. Because… Skip 1 line 3. Experimental Variable: Weight of car (# of marbles) 4. Dependent Variable: measure time to get from A to B 5. Variables that must be controlled are: a. _______ b ______ c ______ 6. Data: A good graph has: Descriptive Title Axes labelled Line drawn/ Bars colored Page 18: Mass/time analysis Conclusion: Answer the problem. List some evidence for your conclusion. Does data support hypothesis? Why or why not? Analysis 1. Explain why the CAR MASS was the experimental variable in this experiment, but RAMP STEEPNESS was the experimental variable in the previous experiment. 2. How and why were variables controlled (to make it a fair test?) Did the CONTROLLED VARIABLES in this experiment affect the TIME down the ramp? Why or why not? 3.
