dependant variable
Which brand of toilet paper, USING ONE 10cm X 10cm SQUARE THAT HAS BEEN SOAKED WITH 15ml OF ROOM TEMPERATURE WATER, can hold the most stacked quarters before ripping? The size, temperature and water amounts are all considered what part of the experiment?
Control

Not testable
When you use your data to create a graph (visual way to show/finding the answer to your original question from all of your trials), what information goes on the X and Y axis
X- axis has your independent variable, the Y- axis has your dependent variable.
In the Data section, what do you document?
Every single trial you did, including the units of measure in metric units
Which step in the following procedure makes this experiment with results you can’t trust?
- Gather all of your supplies and bring to the middle school gym.
- Use painter’s tape to secure the meter stick to the side wall.
- Place a ladder next to the wall by the meter stick.
- Tell your partner to start the video on their phone for the trials.
- Climb the ladder and drop the ball from 3m onto the gym floor.
- Record only the bounces that your group agreed were good enough.
- Repeat step 4-6 ten times for each brand of volleyball.
6 because you must use bounce heights from every trial
Which thickness of Staples-brand 7cm diameter rubber band can stretch the furthest before breaking with a stretching machine?
Testable
How should a “conclusion” be written for your science experiment?
As an example with the toilet paper brand experiment, it would include the ranking of every brand tested from best to worst.
The conclusion restates the entire original question but includes the answer you found from your trials.
Which brand of new tennis balls will bounce the highest when dropped on a gym floor from 2 meters?
Testable
Which brand of shampoo makes hair the shiniest, cleanest, and fullest?
Not testable
Which of the following is an example of a properly written hypothesis for a question dealing with flying different designs of paper airplane for longest distance?My hypothesis was incorrect, all airplanes flew exactly the same distance when I threw it as hard as I could.
My hypothesis was incorrect, all airplanes flew exactly the same distance when I threw it as hard as I could.
I think that airplane design B will fly the farthest when launched from a robotic paper airplane launcher.
I think that airplane design B will fly the farthest when launched from a robotic paper airplane launcher.
Our paper airplanes did not fly far because we could not fold each design exactly the same.
Our paper airplanes did not fly far because we could not fold each design exactly the same.
Our airplanes flew the following distances, 150cm, 201cm, 85cm, 182cm, 221cm, 190cm, and 178cm for an average distance of 172.4cm.

What part of the scientific method is described by the following statement? “I think that the Northern brand 10cm x 10cm toilet paper square soaked with 15ml of room temperature water can hold the most stacked quarters before ripping
Hypothesis
A tennis racket smacks a bowling ball traveling at 5m/s with a force of 155N. What would the force be with Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion in mind? (You know the law, dont over think it!)
The bowing ball would experience 155N in the opposite direction it was rolling from the tennis racket.
How does Newton’s 3rd Law explain Mr. Raupp sitting still on a chair?
The upward push force of the chair is the exact same amount of force as Mr. Raupp’s downward force due to gravity.
A Semi Truck windshield strikes a large moth while traveling at 50km/hr…SPLAT! What does Newton’s 3rd Law tell us about that interaction?
Upon impact, the moth and the windshield experienced the exact same amount of force.
If I was in space and accidentally started floating away from the space station while working with and carrying a huge/massive solar panel, how could I make my way back to the ship using my knowledge of Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion?
Put your body between the solar panel and the station. Push the solar panel away from the station as hard as you can which will force you to float towards the space station.
If Mr. Raupp and Mr. Haydamacker had a tug of war. Mr Raupp was pulling with 512N of force. Mr. Haydamacker was pulling with 512N of force. What does that mean.
Neither will win. Their only hope is the rope breaking.
A skate boarder loses his balance and hits a stop sign. The skateboard applies a force of 400N to the stop sign. What would Newton’s 3rd Law of motion also state?
The stop sign applied 400N of force back on the skateboard.
Which is the correct description of Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion?
If two objects collide, their forces will be equal in magnitude and in opposite directions on each othe
If Mr. H was pushing on you with 200N of force and you moved backwards that means…..
You are pushing with less than 200N of force
A car rolls down a hill and hits a mailbox. How would Newton’s 3rd law explain this interaction?
The mailbox and the car would experience equal impact force.
