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

3 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

8 Simplified! Independent Dependent Cause Effect Before After Output
Input What you do What happens
