What would your experimental approach to be to test this hypothesis?
What are the independent and dependent variables?
What would be your control?
What type of graph would be appropriate for this data set? Why?
Graph the data from the table above. You can either make it in this document or upload it along with this workfile. You can make it with word or excel or you can make it on paper, take a picture of it and upload the picture.
Exercise #2
Determine which of the following observations are testable. If it is not testable, write “not testable” in the answer spot. If it IS testable answer the following questions about the observations:
1) Write a hypothesis and null hypothesis.
2) What would be your experimental approach?
3) What are the dependent and independent variables?
4) What is your control?
5) How will you collect your data?
6) How will you present your data (charts, graphs, types)?
7) How will you analyze your data?
