1. Design Experiment Research the problem
Choose an independent variable that will affect the outcome
Notes should be in your lab notebook to indicate why this variable will have an effect on the dependent variable. Resources should be cited.
Give a focused research question and hypothesis statement

2. Design Experiment Identify independent variable and levels
Identify how many trials for each
How will you measure the dependent variable?
What other variables need to be kept constant?

3. Design Experiment
Write the methods with explicit reference to how control of variables will be achieved
Sufficient relevant data (Remember 5 X 5)
Don’t forget the control group
Diagram of lab setup – annotate to show how variables will be instituted, especially controlled variables

4. Beet Cells Focused research question Hypothesis statement
Levels of IV with explanation of choice DV
Constants
Complete methods

5. Beet Cells
You must have explanation for your choice of independent variable in your log book
This information should include reputable reference(s) (not Wickepedia)
The research question should be written on the sign-up sheet on Friday, August 28
The design must be turned in (lab notebook) on Monday, August 31
