Matching Pairs Flashcards - MT Car Expt: Lever Length vs. DistanceOnline version assignment by Benjamin D Morgan 1 Step 2B: Do Research 2 Independent Variable 3 Evidence for a conclusion (claim) comes from... 4 If I think my data from the experiment is wrong then... 5 Evidence for a conclusion (claim) NEVER comes from... 6 Controlled Variable 7 Step 2A: Ask a Question to Research with a lab 8 Dependent Variable 9 Step 4: Perform an Experiment to answer the question 10 Step 6: Conclusion (Final Claim) 11 Step 3: Make a Hypothesis (claim) 12 Step 1: Make observations about the natural world 13 Iterative 14 If I think my data from the experiment is wrong then I NEVER 15 Step 5: Analyze the Results of the Lab The variable that is made different in an experiment Changed the lever length on a mousetrap car and then saw which went farther by measuring it How does the lever length effect the distance of the car Data or observations only from an experiment or the environment The variable that we keep the same in the experiment or it will effect/throw off the results A process that repeats a series of steps over and over Looked at our experimental results of which car went farther: the shorter or longer lever Answer the question "How does the lever length effect the distance of the car" based only on our previous knowlege before performing this experiment I write a final claim based on the evidence anyway OR redo the lab again Reviewed the observations we made during our first experiment (how the mass effected the speed of the car) Learned about normal force, what it is, and how it acts on the MT Car My opinions on what I think the answer is Ignore the evidence (experimental data) and write what I think the correct answer is The variable that we measure in an experiment Answer the question "How does the lever length effect the distance of the car" based only on the results of the lab we did with this assignment
