Variables and designing an experiment

Today in class we discussed different types of variables (independent vs. dependent), and how to use them in designing an experiment. We did a worksheet in class that gave examples of experiments, and we identified the different types of variables as well as the control group. We finished up the worksheet by designing our own experiment to test a given hypothesis.

Homework: Read section 1-4, finish the Black Box lab writeup (with your additional knowledge of variables).
