VARIABLES
Definition :

Keep all the


variables which can
effect the Purpose :
experiment the Types Of Variables
same.  Make fair test of
hypothesis
 Make sure not affect the
results

Responding

 Change because of
manipulated variable

Controlled/ constant

 Those which must be the


same
Make a prediction about variables
based on past experiences
Statement which explains the
Must be clear worded relationship between variables

Imagining Possible
Explanations

USES
Judging Which Explanations
are Hypotheses e.x :

 ‘that dark coloured object heat up To predict the answer


faster than light coloured object problem
EXPERIMENTING

Steps

Stating hypothesis Purpose :

To find the solutions to a problem


or some facts yet unknown

Designing method to Stating early the steps in an design of experiment to test a
collect data experiments hypothesis

Conduct experiments to test hypothesis by


Collecting data
changing variables that are manipulated.

Interpreting data Presenting data in diagram, tables,


charts and graphs.

Explaining findings of experiments and stating conclusions


Defining operationally

Explain relationships Understanding Cause and


between variables in an Effect Relationships
experiment
- what caused what
e.x : to happen and why
Describing Relationships Between Variables
between the independent
and dependant variables
plus the standard of Definition :
comparison
 Sub process of communicating
 Operationally : an action (operation)

e.x :

 very soft

Definitions are in context of students' experiences - not


from the glossary, not to be memorized

Explaining how to measure a variable in an experiment


INTERPRETING Definition :

collect by observation and
measurement

Interpreting data – find some


pattern in the data which give
them an answer to the problem
