• Choose an independent variable that will affect
  the outcome
• Notes should be in your lab notebook to indicate
  why this variable will have an effect on the
  dependent variable. Resources should be cited.
• Give a focused research question and hypothesis

2
Design Experiment

• Identify independent variable and levels
• Identify how many trials for each
• How will you measure the dependent variable?
• What other variables need to be kept constant?

3
Design Experiment

• Write the methods with explicit reference to how
  control of variables will be achieved
• Sufficient relevant data (Remember 5 X 5)
• Dont forget the control group
• Diagram of lab setup annotate to show how
  variables will be instituted, especially
  controlled variables

Beet Cells

• Focused research question
• Hypothesis statement
• Levels of IV with explanation of choice
• DV
• Constants
• Complete methods

5
Beet Cells

• You must have explanation for your choice of
  independent variable in your log book
• This information should include reputable
  reference(s) (not Wickepedia)
• The research question should be written on the
  sign-up sheet on Friday, August 28
