A set of objects that work together, each part is a potential variable
What is a system
100
The parts of our pendulum system.
What is paper clip, penny, string, and pencil/support?
100
Why is it important to set a standard?
It allows you to compare and assess the effect when a variable is changed.
100
The variable that the girls controlled in the contest.
What is the launch position (line on the playground).
200
The basic procedure used in a controlled experiment before changing any variables.
What is a standard?
200
The lifeboat system.
What is a cup, pennies, and bucket of water?
200
The two axis on a graph (not variables).
What are the x-axis and the y-axis?
200
Two variables that are NOT controlled in the experiment.
What are girls' strength, launch technique (stepping, running, or standing), and kinds of balls?
300
Anything that you can change in an experiment that might affect the outcome or results.
What is a variable?
300
Parts of our plane system.
What is flight line, chairs/support, straws, clips, craft sticks, and propeller?
300
On a graph, this is the axis that represents the independent variable.
What is the x-axis?
300
The girls need to do this to make the contest a controlled experiment (fair).
What is all variables other than the girl need to be controlled.
*All need to throw the same ball
*All throw from the same place
*All use the same launch technique
400
One, and only one variable, is changed in the experiment in order to assess how it affects our outcome.
What is a controlled experiment?
400
The parts of our flipper system.
What is the flipper, flipper base, and tin foil balls?
400
On a graph, this is the axis that represents the dependent variable.
