AIM: How can we set up a controlled experiment Do Now: Which of the following would be a correct hypothesis for an experiment? 1. will plants grow tall with more sunlight? 2. If plants are exposed to more sunlight, then they will grow taller Using the hypothesis, identify the independent variable and the dependent variable in this experiment

How does our heart rate change after exercise? Our Problem How does our heart rate change after exercise?

heart rate tends to increase after we exercise. Our Observations heart rate tends to increase after we exercise.

Our Research Scientific Journals Library Internet Sources

Our Hypothesis If a person does 30 Jumping Jacks, then his/her heart rate will increase.

Our Controlled Experiment We are going to design an experiment that will allow us to measure heart rate after we exercise. In our Exercise Experiment, which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable?

What are we changing (manipulating)? Independent Variable What are we changing (manipulating)? Jumping Jacks!!!!

What are we going to measure? What is our data? Dependent Variable What are we going to measure? What is our data? PULSE RATE!!!

In our Exercise Experiment, which is the Control group and which is the experimental group? Jumping jacks Control no jumping jacks

Constant Age Type of exercise Time of day Health What should be the same in all groups? Age Type of exercise Time of day Health

Sample size? VS The number of “things” included in group. ***Remember- the bigger the sample size, the more valid our results will be!! How many people should we use? The whole class!!

Procedure All students will measure their heart rate for 1 minute during rest and record the data. Half the students will be instructed to complete 30 Jumping Jacks. The other half will rest. All students will measure their heart rate again for one minute and record it. All students will calculate their change in pulse rate. We will record the class results

Average change in pulse (bpm) Results Data Graph table Average change in pulse (bpm) Resting Exercise

Answer your problem by explaining your data Conclusion Answer your problem by explaining your data

Identify the Dependent and Independent Variable: In an experiment studying the effect of sleep on student achievement. In an experiment studying the effect of caffeine on worker performance. In an experiment studying plant growth in different colors of light.

Data- (***you will not have any data to use!!!) Problem Research Hypothesis Experiment Independent varialbe Dependent variable Control group Experimental group constant Data- (***you will not have any data to use!!!) What type of data would you collect? how would you set up your data table or graph?
