8th grade science fair project

Form a Hypothesis

Use your previously learned knowledge about variables and reference the science buddies website to review the information on variables to identify the variables in your experiment.  http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_variables.shtml#whatarevariables.  Write a statement in your research paper stating your independent variable and dependent variable.  Also include a statement that explains at least 3-5 experimental controls you used in your experimental design to insure a good scientific process.  This statement will be included in your final research paper.
