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