9. V: 1 Cornell Notes Scientific Method Cornell Notes 111 EQ: How do scientists use the Scientific Method to make discoveries? Describe the difference between independent and dependent variables. What is a constant? Why is it important for scientists to repeat trials? -The independent variable is what is being changed on purpose while the dependent variable is what is being measured or observed. -A constant is a factor in an experiment that is kept the same each trial. -To make sure that the results and conclusion are accurate. Scientists use the Scientific Method to make discoveries by…..

11. DO NOW V: 0 Tuesday Read the following scenario then answer the questions. Sophia wanted to know if adding mass to her paper helicopter would affect how long it would stay in the air. She predicted that adding some mass would help to stabilize the helicopter and keep it in the air longer than a helicopter without extra mass. She experimented with different numbers of paper clips attached to her helicopter. 1.What is the problem question in Sophia’s experiment? 2.What is Sophia’s hypothesis? 3.What is her independent variable? 4.What is her dependent variable?
