Looking at data - tables

Question 1

Suggest an aim for this experiment.

Answer 1

To find out how high different balls bounce.

Question 2

Suggest an aim for this experiment.

Answer 2

To find out how long a candle takes to go out when different sized jars are placed over it.

Question 3

Suggest an aim for this experiment.

Answer 3

To find out how the time taken for a spinner to drop is affect by the number of paperclips attached to it.

Question 4

Identify the indpendent and dependent variables in this experiment.

Answer 4

Independent = size of jar (cm³)

Dependent = time taken for candle to go out (s)

Question 5

Identify the indpendent and dependent variables in this experiment.

Answer 5

Independent variable = type of ball

Dependent variable = height of bounce

Question 6

Identify the indpendent and dependent variables in this experiment.

Answer 6

Independent variable = number of paperclips

Dependent variable = time taken for spinner to drop (s)

Question 7

Which values would you put on the X and Y axis on a graph of the following results?

Answer 7

X = Type of ball

Y = Height of bounce (cm)

Question 8

Which values would you put on the X and Y axis on a graph of the following results?

Answer 8

X = Size of jar (cm³)

Y = Time taken for candle to go out (s)

Question 9

Which values would you put on the X and Y axis on a graph of the following results?

Answer 9

X = Number of paperclips

Y = Time taken for spinner to drop (s)

Question 10

Which type of graph would you use for this table of results?

Answer 10

Bar chart because one of that variables is a label (type of ball)

Question 11

Which type of graph would you use for this table of results?

Answer 11

Line graph because independent and dependent variables are both numbers

Question 12

Which type of graph would you use for this table of results?

Answer 12

Line graph because independent and dependent variables are both numbers
