Variables
100

Given two points on a line of best fit (2,5) and (5, 26), find the slope of the line.

m = 7

100

Use this graph if you have a qualitative IV and quantitative DV, and you are measuring parts of a whole or percentages.

It's the "C" in CRAAP. Define what it means as well.

Currency: describes how current or up to date the information is.

100

This variable describes the amount of thermal energy something holds. (For full points, give the standard unit as well)

Temperature (K)

200

Given two points on a line of best fit (2,5) and (5, 26), find the y-intercept of the line.

b = -9

200

Use this graph if you have a qualitative IV and quantitative DV, and you have categorical data that isn't parts of a whole or percentages.

Bar Graph

What were the IV and DV of the Tying Knots (Rope length) lab?

IV: Number of Knots

DV: Length of Rope (m)

200

It's the "R" in CRAAP. Define what it means as well.

Relevancy: is the source related to your topic and is it appropriate for your audience (can you read it?)

200

This variable describes the length of space between two points. (For full points, give the standard unit as well)

Distance (m)

300

Write a properly formatted science equation for the following experiment and line of best fit:

IV: rainfall (cm)

DV: Grass Height (cm)

y = 1.5x+2

Grass Height (cm) = 1.5 (Rainfall (cm)) + 2 cm

300

Use this graph if you have both a quantitative IV and DV, and you want to see the relationship between the IV and the DV.

300

This variable measures the duration between two events. (For full points, give the standard unit as well)

Time (s)

400

Write a properly formatted science equation for the following experiment and line of best fit:

IV: Water Temperature (°C)

DV: Amount of Sugar Dissolved (g)

y = 12x+5

Amount of Sugar Dissolved (g) = 12 g/°C (Water Temperature (°C)) + 5 g

400

Use this graph if you have both a quantitative IV and DV, and your IV is continuous change over time.

500

Write a properly formatted science equation for the following experiment and line of best fit:

IV: Time (s)

DV: Velocity (m/s)

y = -9.81x+50

Velocity (m/s) = -9.81 m/s2 (Time (s)) + 50 m/s

500
Use this graph if you have a qualitative DV and either a qualitative or quantitative IV.
