Key questions raised by observations (1) INDEPENDENT VARIABLE: (What is the cause agent? What are you changing?)

(2) DEPENDENT VARIABLE: (What is being measured?)

(3) LAB SET-UP:
Experimental Groups

# of Trials
(4) CONTROL: (What is the experimental group being compared to?)


(5) HYPOTHESIS: [Use an If…(I. V.)….then…(D. V.)……format.
State the cause & effect relationship between the Independent
Variable (I. V.) and the Dependent Variable (D. V.) It must be testable]

If, thenbecause

(6) LAB TITLE: (The effect of (I. V.) on D. V.).



(7) EXPERIMENTAL CONSTANTS: (Name 6 Variables
NOT altered during the experiment)




8) Specific procedures/diagrams with labels
