Example: a car going down different surfaces. Independent variable: the surface of the slope rug, bubble wrap and wood. Dependent variable: the time it takes for the car to go down the slope. Controlled variable: the height of the slope, the car, the unit of time e.g. minutes and the length of the slope.

By the end of the lesson, all students will be able to define independent, dependent and control variables and identify these variables in scientific investigations. There are three carefully scaffolded group tasks. Students initially define the different types of variables.
Control variables are the variables that are kept the same in an experiment. Control variables help you to measure the influence of the independent variable.

Aimed at KS3, this powerpoint includes some typical scientific questions and prompts pupils to think about what each of the types of variables is, what kind of data they will record and how they should display that data. Can be added to easily with more examples. Use as a starter or plenary to keep reminding pupils of these key working scientifically skills.
This variables worksheet can be used by both KS3 and KS4 students to identify the independent and dependent variables in their investigation. The worksheet also asks students to list control variables and explain how they will control them. Two versions are provided, one with a table for the control variables and one with answer lines, so you can choose the version most suitable for your ...
