2. Differentiate between the independent, dependent and control variable. How can you know the difference?
3. Please take a worksheet from the front stool. Review the scientific method and variables by completing the 1st page. 
SPI 0807.Inq.1 Design a simple experimental procedure with an identified control and appropriate variables.
SPI 0807.Inq.2 Select tools and procedures needed to conduct a moderately complex experiment.
SPI 0807.Inq.3 Interpret and translate data into a table, graph, or diagram.
SPI 0707.Inq.4 Draw a conclusion that establishes a cause and effect relationship supported by evidence.
SPI 0807.Inq.5 Identify a faulty interpretation of data that is due to bias or experimental error.

4. Slime Lab Partner up . 1 & 2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6, 7 & 8, 9 &10 etc.
Assign jobs. Mixing and gathering supplies.  .
Procedure: 
Fill beaker with 50 mL of water. 
Put in 1/4 - 1 tsp. Of borax into beaker and stir until it is fully dissolved into the water.
Fill the ziploc bag with 4 oz. White glue
Pour 1.5 tsp of the borax/water solution into the ziploc bag at a time.
Squish it around for 2-3 minutes and see what happens. 

5. Error analysis:
In the embedded Inquiry, SM of your One Note notebook list and explain three possible sources of error in the slime lab. Then suggest a method for reducing those specific examples of error in this activity.

6. SUMMARY
S (statement)- Bias and error cannot be completely eliminated from experiments. O (opinion)- S (supporting evidence)-
