  1. Independent and Dependent Variables Drill: What are some steps to the scientific method? What is it used for?

  2. Notebook • Open up to your TOC and “Naming Variable in an Experiment” on page 5

  3. Independent Vs Dependent Variables • Independent Variables are the things you are changing in an experiment. • The dependent variable changes as a result of changing the independent.

  4. Independent Vs Dependent Variables • EXAMPLE: If I change the amount of water a plant receives, the height of the pant will change. • The independent variable is the water, because we are changing it. • The dependent variable is the height of the plant, because it is affected by the water.

  5. Worksheet • At the bottom of your worksheet, write in your independent and dependent variable you are using in your science project.

  6. Thumb Wrestling Lab • Materials • String • Ruler • Graph Paper

  7. Homework • The Simpson’s Worksheet
