Step 7: Identify the Variables and controls in your experiment

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 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.  Final draft of this statement of variables and controls must be included on your display board.
