Q

What is the dependent variable?

A

The dependent variable is the factor that you measure in an experiment as it responds to changes in the independent variable.

Q

What is a fair test?

A

A fair test is an experiment where only the independent variable is changed, while all controlled variables are kept the same.

Q

Do a risk assessment for a glass beaker

A

Hazards: (answers could include any)
- Cuts from broken glass
- Burns from heated glass
-Skin or eye irritation from spilled substances

Precautions: (Answers could include any)
- Handle with care; place on a stable surface; avoid sudden impacts
- Use heatproof gloves when handling hot beakers
- Use beakers only for appropriate substances; wear safety goggles and gloves

16
Q

What is a method?

A

A step-by-step procedure written in PAST TENSE that explains how the experiment was conducted.

17
Q

What are the results?

A

The raw data collected from the experiment, usually recorded in tables.

18
Q

What is data analysis?

A

Examining the results by calculating averages and identifying trends.

19
Q

What does CUTLASS stand for?

A

Crosses, Units, Title, Line of best fit, Axis, Scale, Size.

20
Q

What is discuss in an SRP?

A

Analyzing results, explaining trends, discussing errors, and linking findings to scientific concepts.

21
Q

What is a conclusion in an SRP?

A

A summary of findings that states whether the hypothesis was supported or rejected.

22
Q

How do you write a conclusion in an SRP?

A

Restate the Aim, Summarize the Results: Highlight key trends or patterns found in the data.
State Whether the Hypothesis Was Supported: Clearly say if your results support or contradict your hypothesis. Explain Any Scientific Reasoning: Link findings to relevant scientific concepts.

23
Q

What axis does the independent and dependent variable go on?

A

Independent on the X axis, Dependent on the Y axis

Q

How do i format a title for a graph?

A

Dependent Variable vs Independent Variable
