Experiment! 1.What is your question/hypothesis? 2.What will you change? What should be kept the same? 3.What will you measure? 4.Who will you test? How will you test them? Between groups? Within groups?

Types of Data (Scales) Nominal Scale (category) Ordinal Scale (rank)

Types of Data (Scales) Interval Scale (equal units, no zero) Ratio Scale (equal units, true zero)
