WHS* “Chemistry yy Name: = 1 + Chemistry: The Study of Change Fundamentals of Experimental Design Why? Working in the science Ib can be alot of fun, Mixing random chemicals and busning stft just to see what happens can be entertaining (and possibly dangerous), but it doesn’t lead to anything helpful In onlee te helpful inthe community, a reearch’s work the lab must be systematic. A researcher usually asks s quoston and then designs an experiment to investigate that question. Tn this activity you will identify different types of ‘aables that will help you design controlled experiments. In this aetvty you wil dently ffercet ype of Variables in an experiment and graph the data appropriately.

The independent variable is changed by the expesimenter by design. This variable is sometimes called the “manipulated vatiable”, The dependent variable is what changes as a result of the change in the independent variable. This variable is sometimes called the “responding variable”. In some cases more that one dependent variable is considered. The third category involves controlled variables. These are variables that you think might change the outcome of the experiment, but since you are not studying them, you need to keep them constant in each trial 11, Identify the independent, dependent, and controlled variables for the experiments that produced the data shown in Model 2 and Model 3. ‘Model Experiment Watiables Tadependent Dependent Controlled repo of tabler volume Alka-Seltzer® and Vinegar |.

For example, a student investigated the effect of the deicer, magnesium chloride, on vegetation on the sides of highways. Her research question was, “What is the effect of magnesium chloride solution concentration on the growth of rye grass?” 12. Write a research question, using the format suggested above, for the experiments in Models 2 and 3, Alka-Seltzer® and Vinegar— Boiling Points of Alcohols— 13. A student wonders, “Will changing the volume of alcohol in a boiling point expesiment change the boiling point of the liquid?” identify the variables that should be considered in this experiment.

Many experiments designed to investigate the reaction of Mentos® with Diet Coke® have been documented on YouTube. Design and write an experiment that uses the knowledge gained in this activity to investigate this reaction. Include a research question; the independent, dependent and controlled variables; and a simple procedure. 15. Scientist many design an experiment with a control group, which is a set of organisms or samples that no NOT receive the treatment (the independent variable) that is being tested. Scientist can then compare normal changes in organisms or samples with those that might have occurred because of the treatment. ‘The idea of a “control group” is not the same as a “controlled variable”. Suppose a scientist is doing an experiment to determine the effect of a cancer drug on mice with lymphoma. a. What are some of the variables that scientist should control in the experiment? type of alrag [amet type of mouse (breed, gender , age) Stage of lymphenre b.
