#11 • I want to test different soap products to see which product kills the most bacteria on my hands. • What is the independent variable in this experiment? • What is the dependent variable? • What would be the control group? • List 2 constants.
All Class Data Difference =Experimental-control
Remove outliers (any number that increased) How do you graph remaining data?

#12 Eva and Lucy decide to test the effects of how much sleep a student gets on the academic performance of that student. They select 20 juniors (10 male and 10 female) to study. All students have GPA’s between 3.5 and 4.0, and are all of similar ethnic backgrounds. Eva and Lucy instruct the students to get 9 hours of sleep every night for a week, and give the students a standardized test on Friday. The next week, students are only allowed 8 hours of sleep every night before taking a similar test the following Friday. They continue to vary the amount of sleep down to only 5 hours per night, and record data about how they perform on a standardized test each week. • What is the independent variable in this experiment? • What is the dependent variable? • Name two constants they keep. • Write a hypothesis for this experiment.

Science v. Technology Science advances Knowledge Technology advances Society 2
Science v. Technology • Sciencedoes lead to New Technology. **The goal of Technology is to solve problems, whereas science is aimed at answering a question.** 3
Technology: application of scientific discoveries to meet human needs and goals through the development of products and processes 4
Four stages of technological design: • Problem Identification • Clearly define the problem or need • Solution Design • Brainstorm, research, sketch, and narrow down to best design for product or process • Implementation • Build and Test – make improvements as needed • Evaluation • Determine if you solved the problem/met all constraints 5
Common requirements within the Solution Design stage: • Cost effectiveness or lowest cost • Time effectiveness or least amount of time required • Materials that meet these criteria: • Reasonably priced • Availability • Durability • Not harmful to users or the environment It’s nearly impossible to have the perfect design, but in general shoot for the: Benefits >>> risks 6
Scientific Investigation vs. Technological Design • Identifies a problem – asks a question • Researches related information • Designs an investigation or experiment • Conducts the investigation or experiment – repeated trials • Analyzes the results • Evaluates the conclusion – did the results refute or verify the hypothesis? • Communicates the findings • Identifies a problem or need • Researches related information • Designs a process or a product • Implements the design or the process – repeated testing • Analyzes the results • Evaluates the process or product – did it meet the criteria? • Communicates the product or process 7
