By the end of this section, you should be able to:
- Identify the dependent and independent variables for given experiments and justify your choice.
- Determine possible control variables and explain why they might need to be controlled.
- Write an Experimental Aim (purpose statement) that includes reference to the independent and dependent variables.
- Write a clear, concise method that includes a properly labeled diagram of the experimental set-up.
- Collect data using a properly labeled data table
- Graph the results on properly labeled graph
- Interpret the results and write a concise conclusion statement
Aim/Purpose
The Aim, or Purpose, Statement is one sentence that describes why you are conducting this experiment or what you hope to find.
Example: "To determine how the concentration of Hydrochloric acid effects the rate of a reaction with Magnesium metal".
Example: "To determine how the concentration of Hydrochloric acid effects the rate of a reaction with Magnesium metal".
VariablesWhen conducting a science experiment, it is important to be able to identify the key variables.
|
|
MethodYour method is the procedure that you carry out during your experiment.
|
Collecting DataYou should have a clearly labeled data table set up before you take your first measurement.
Your data table should include:
|
|
Graphing Your DataA graph is a visual representation of your data and can be used to see trends; how your dependent variable changes as you change the independent variable.
All graphs need:
|
Conclusion
The conclusion is a one or two sentence statement that summarizes your findings based on your data and graph.
Example: We found that the reaction between Hydrochloric Acid and Magnesium was faster with higher concentrations of acid.
Example: We found that the reaction between Hydrochloric Acid and Magnesium was faster with higher concentrations of acid.
