  1. SPI 0807.Inq.1 Controls and Variables Bell work Feb 05, 2013 • A student conducts an experiment to determine which type of • ballpoint writing pen will last the longest before running out of ink. • Experimental Group • (A) Uses 3 types of ink pens in a series of experiments • (Blue ink pen, Black ink pen, red ink pen) • He copies text from his science book. He copies the same text over • and over. He writes at the same speed. The room temperature • remains the same. He writes on the same kind of paper. • Control Group • (B) Uses 3types of non-ballpoint pens in a series of experiments • Uses the same constants as the experimental group • Identify the following: • (1) Independent and dependent variable(s) in the experimental group • (2) Constants 1

  2. SPI 0807.Inq.1 Controls and Variables Bell work Experimental group (A) All the details of the series of experiments using the 3 types of ballpoint pens Control group (B) All the details of the 3 non-ballpoint pens Independent and Dependent variables -Independent: The types of ballpoint pens (blue, black, red) -Dependent: How long the ink lasts from each pen These are some constants -Same text, same person writing, same writing speed, same temperature, same kind of paper, etc. NOTE: The non-ballpoint pens are the control variables! 2

  3. SPI 0807.Inq.1 Controls and Variables PLAN • 1) Discuss objective and bell work • 2) Ask about birthdays • 3) Continue gum chewing experiment • (see next slide day two details: Sugar less gum) • 4) COPY IN YOUR AGENDA: • No Homework:  Silly Thought  Sometimes I wonder to myself… …”Why is that Frisbee getting bigger?” (Then it hits me) 3

  4. SPI 0807.Inq.1 Controls and Variables Experiment Question: Does the mass of sugar free gum increase or Decrease when you chew it? Tasks: A) Make a prediction and a hypothesis statement. B) Chew 3 different pieces of gum. Measure the mass of the gum before and after you chew them. C) Record your observations in a chart D) Write a conclusion E) Identify independent and dependent variable(s) F) Identify the constants G) Think of a control experiment you could do and describe it 4
