\nRead about each experiment below and identify the various factors of that experiment in the matching.
\nExperiment #1
\nBrutus loves to ski the fresh snow in Colorado every ski season. Aside from rocking the backcountry bowls, he
\navidly slaloms down the slopes. This year, there is a revolutionary new wax that he would like to test against his old wax.
\nSo, he sets up an experiment to test the waxes, hoping that one will allow him a faster time. On the same slalom course,
\nusing the same stopwatch, wearing the same brand and style of skis and the same boots, he tests his waxes.
\nMATCHING: match the factors from experiment #1 with the terms on the right. (Answers may be used more than once.)
\n_______ 1. the course A. an independent variable
\n_______ 2. using different waxes B. the dependent variable
\n_______ 3. the condition of using his old wax C. a constant
\n_______ 4. the brand of skis he wears D. control
\n_______ 5. wearing the same boots
\n_______ 6. his speed
\nExperiment #2
\nBob likes to pole vault. He has always used a 3 meter long pole in his competitions. A friend asked him to try a
\n4 meter long pole because he said it would help him increase the height of his jumps. Bob sets up a scientific
\nexperiment by testing each of the poles. He runs on the same track each time, has the same person measure his height
\neach time, wears the same shoes and clothes each time, and even completes the same stretches for the same amount of
\ntime before each trial. In the end, his average height for the new pole was better, so he decides to switch.
\nMATCHING: match the factors from experiment #2 with the terms on the right. (Answers may be used more than once.)
\n______ 7. using his 3 meter pole A. an independent variable
\n______ 8. wearing the same shoes B. the dependent variable
\n______ 9. the amount of time he stretches C. a constant
\n______ 10. the height of his jumps D. control
\n______ 11. the length of pole he used
\n______ 12. wearing the same clothes
\n______ 13. having the same person measure his jumps each time
\nExperiment #3
\nJanie has raced the same bike for years; she was certain that it was the fastest bike around. She stayed in great
\nshape and kept up on bike maintenance, but has been finishing farther and farther behind in recent races. Is her bike
\nreally the fastest around or could she be riding a quicker one?
\nShe looks up different bikes on-line, talks to friends, and finally heads to the local store to buy a new bike. But,
\nshe still wants to know if the new bike is actually faster than the one she has. She decides to test it.
\nOn the same track that she has trained on for years, she times herself on her old bike. Then, she brings out the
\nnew bike and clocks herself 5 different times, recording the data each time. Then she analyzes the data. Not to her
\namazement, the new bike is faster. She decides to keep it.
\nMATCHING: match the factors from experiment #3 with the terms on the right. (Answers may be used more than once
\nor not at all.)
\n______ 14. racing on the same track A. an independent variable
\n______ 15. the different bikes B. the dependent variable
\n______ 16. having herself being the one to ride the bike each time C. a constant
\n______ 17. her time around the track D. control
\nExperiment #4
\nHector has been growing tomato plants in the same brand of topsoil for years and has always gotten plants that
\naren\u2019t very tall. This year he decides he is going to try a different brand, so he sets up a scientific experiment to help him
\nmake his decision. He sets up two pots, one with the old topsoil and one with the new topsoil. He uses the same seeds
\nfor each plant, the same pots, puts them both in the same amount of sunlight, and uses the same ruler to measure the
\nplants\u2019 heights.
\nMATCHING: match the factors from experiment #4 with the terms on the right. (Answers may be used more than once.)
\n______ 18. using the same pots A. an independent variable
\n______ 19. the condition with the same topsoil he\u2019s always used B. the dependent variable
\n______ 20. using the same ruler for measuring the plants\u2019 heights C. a constant
\n______ 21. using the same seeds D. control
\n______ 22. measuring the plants\u2019 heights
\n______ 23. using different types of topsoil
\n______ 24. giving the plants the same amount of sunlight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
