Hypothesis: The effect of ____________ on ___________, or I predict ___________ because of ______.
Independent Variable:
Control:
Levels of IV
Trials
Dependent Variable:
State exactly what you measured (this is your DV), and how this quantity was measured.
(Example, I measured the revolutions per minute of a revolving bicycle wheel using a tachometer).
Controlled Variables (constants)
Calculated Quantity, explain what data you used and how you calculated this quantity.
Example: mass (M) and volume (V) were measured. Density (D) was calculated per D = M/V
