Activity One- Part One
- What independent variable was changed in this experiment?
- What were some of the controlled variables that should have
stayed the same?
- Did all the controlled variables actually stay the same? If
not, how could they affect the experiment? (Note: These are extraneous
variables.)
- Was there a control group in the experiment? If so, what was
it? If not, should there have been one? Why or why not?
- What was the dependent variable in this experiment?
- In a successful experiment, the dependent variable must change
based solely on changes in the independent variable. Is this the
case with the runner’s experiment: Did the dependent variable
change based solely on the independent variable or were other
variables possibly involved?
- Based on what you know, was the runner’s experiment successful?
Do you think she made a fair decision about which shoes to keep?
Why or why not?
