HS Chemistry Unit 2 Lesson 2: What factors


cause objects to rust the most?
Part 1: Independent and Dependent variables
This time you will be assigned materials per group and you will be
identifying the dependent and independent variables on the experiments.
Watch first the video attached in the google classroom and make your to
complete the table below.

Materials

Iron nails (or steel wool)


Water
Salt
Vinegar
Oil
Beaker or cups
Labels
Creating a Directional Hypothesis
1. In the space below, record a directional hypothesis that you will test in your experiment.

Optional sentence stems:


● (More/less) _______________ leads to (more/less/the same amount of) _______________.
● If ___________ (increases/decreases), then _____________ will (increase/decrease/stay the same).

Brainstorming Our Variables


2. Individually brainstorm what factors you think could affect an object’s rusting and what data you want
to collect.

Independent Variable: What factors could affect how Dependent Variable: What data should we collect to
much iron or steel rusts? **ONLY CHOOSE THE know how much the iron or steel rusted?
VARIABLE THAT YOU ARE CHANGING***
