Directions: Read through each scenario and identify the independent variable, dependent variable, and the control. Beware- not all experiments will have a control! 1. Sara wants to see if a new brand of hair dye lasts longer than the brand she currently uses. She puts the new hair dye on the left side of her head and the old brand on her right ...
Independent and Dependent Variables: Part 1 Directions: Identify the independent and dependent variables in the following statements. 1) The more time people spend using social media, the less they read books. Independent Variable: Dependent Variable: 2) Drinking energy drinks makes people more aggressive. Independent Variable: Dependent Variable:
For each experiment below, specify the independent variable, dependent variable, control group and any constants. 1. A student wanted to test how the mass of a paper airplane affected the distance it would fly. Paper clips were added before each test flight. As each paper clip was added, the plane was tested to determine how far it would fly.
I designed this worksheet as a way to get students to quickly identify the variables in an experiment. Each scenario is only a couple sentence long, such as ” One grape is placed in tap water and another grape is placed in salt water.” In the chart, students would identify the independent variable as the type of water.
a. Independent Variable: b. Dependent Variable: 3. Sales tax in the state of Maryland is 5% of the purchase price. a. Independent Variable: b. Dependent Variable: 4. The fire was very big so many firefighters were there. a. Independent Variable: b. Dependent Variable: 5. To rent a DVD, a customer must pay $3.99 plus $0.99 for every day that it ...
Independent and Dependent Variables The independent variable determines the value of the dependent variable. In other words, the dependent variable “depends on” the independent variable. Example: Linda burns 3.2 calories for every minute she spends walking her dog. The number of calories Linda burns depends on the number of minutes she walks.
Other Resources on the Scientific Method. Variables with Simpsons – read stories involving characters from the Simpsons and determine the independent and dependent variables. Beriberi and Penicillin – a short story on the discovery of penicillin and that Beriberi was caused by a vitamin deficiency. Discoveries in Science – focus on Pasteur’s experiment and other discoveries in science
Identifying Variables Worksheet Instructions: For the following experiments, identify and describe the (IV) independent variable, (DV) dependent variable, (CG) control group, and (Con) the constant. 1) Different rose bushes are grown in a greenhouse for two months. The number of flowers on each bush is counted at the end of an experiment.
Independent and Dependent Variable Worksheet. Many students struggle when learning about the independent and dependent variable. When teaching them the independent and dependent variable I try to simplify the two terms to be as simple as possible but still allow students to apply the definitions to an actual scientific experiment or scenario.
IV = independent variable DV = dependent variable . Identify the types of variables in each written statement. READ CAREFULLY! 1. A study was done to find if fuel types affect the engine’s performance in a car. Independent Variable: fuel type . Dependent Variable: engine performance . Constants: car, driver, driving location and speed . 2.
Practice and Problem Solving: A/B Name the dependent variable and the independent variable in each problem. 1. A food service worker earns $12 per hour. How much money, m, does the worker earn on a shift of h hours? Dependent variable: _____; independent variable: _____ 2. A large 2-topping pizza, L, costs $2 more than a medium 3-topping pizza, M.
17. Identify the dependent and independent variables in the following scenario: The amount of money you earn and the number of hours you spend working. Dependent Independent 18. Write an equation to represent the scenario displayed in the graph below. 19. Cory is buying hamburgers for his barbeque. Each package contains eight hamburgers.
Independent d = the distance Spencer bikes. 4) independent t = the amount of time that the venue has been reserved for. Dependent b = the number of bands that will be able to play. 5) dependent m = the amount of money Carson earns. independent c = the number of cups of lemonade Carson sells. 6) dependent t = the number of truckers the company ...

He plans to investigate how the acceleration of the wagon changes as the force he exerts on it increases. In his investigation, the independent variable is – A. the acceleration of the wagon
Independent Variable: Drinking energy drinks Dependent Variable: Aggressive behavior 3) Taking a nap in the afternoon makes people more focused for the rest of the day. Independent Variable: Time spent napping in the afternoon Dependent Variable: Focus 4) Spending time with a family dog decreases the amount of stress someone is feeling.
Scientists collect data on the dependent variable to see how it responds to the change made to the independent variable. The new value of the dependent variable is caused by and depends on the value of the independent variable. For example, if you open a faucet part way (the independent variable), the quantity of water flowing (dependent ...
Independent Variable (IV): Soil pH Level (Acidic vs. Alkaline – this is the environmental condition that differs). Dependent Variable (DV): Color of Hydrangea Flowers (e.g., Blue vs. Pink – this is the observed outcome). Explanation: The soil pH (IV) influences the resulting flower color (DV). This is a natural experiment example.
Variables Practice: Independent, Dependent and Controlled Identify the independent and dependent variables in the following experiments. Then list some ideas for controlled variables. 1. Students watched a cartoon and then rated how funny they thought the cartoon was. Independent Variable: _____
