There are 5 important parts to an experiment!
BIG IDEA: There are 5 important parts to an experiment!

Important Part #1 The Important Part Is… In Our Shark Lab This Was… 1) The Independent Variable (IV) = the thing I change on purpose
4
Important Part #2 The Important Part Is… In Our Shark Lab This Was… 2) The Dependent Variable (DV) = the thing that depends on the IV
5
Important Part #3 The Important Part Is… In Our Shark Lab This Was… 3) Experimental groups = each set-up where you change the IV
6
Important Part #4 The Important Part Is… In Our Shark Lab This Was… 4)Control group = the set- up where you do NOT change the IV; the group you will compare everything else to
7
Important Part #5 The Important Part Is… In Our Shark Lab This Was… 5) Constants = things that stay the same in all your groups to make it a fair test
