Wild Chemistry Ride (aka lesson) 1:


Planning an Experiment

• Writing a hypothesis

• Identifying variables 
- independent
- dependent
controlled--> not "constant"

• Assumptions (they can be controlled and have a minimal effect on the experiment

• Data Collection, Tabulation & Processing
- tables are usually drawn vertically
- we draw graphs as they average out our results (note: there's no need to begin the graph at "0". Also, a best fit line should be drawn, with the same number of points on each side)
- scientific drawings (note: label, scale, accuracy)

• Interpretation of Results (Data Analysis)

• Limitations (due to them there might have been a decrease in the accuracy of the results)
