Demo Science Experiment!
Goal: to demonstrate any simple science experiment to the class explaining the concept of an ‘independent variable.’
You will:
· Need a partner
· Research any simple experiment on the computers (at school)
· Make sure you have all the materials (we can supply some for you, if necessary and inexpensive)
· Perform the experiment exactly 3 times changing one item (this is your ‘independent variable’)
· Clearly explain the term ‘independent variable’ in your experiment while you present
· TRY IT AT HOME FIRST TO ENSURE IT WORKS!
· Formally demonstrate it to your classmates
· State the question, hypothesis, materials, procedure, observations, and conclusions to the best of your ability
· No need to do a written component – verbal only.
· Be ready to present on Thursday morning, October 3, 2024.
BRING IN ALL YOUR MATERIALS ON THIS DAY!
Hint: keep it a simple experiment like the first experiment we did in class with the small glass, water, and an index card.
