An experimental study requires you to follow
steps in a process, get some basics right now!
You narrow down a problem, express it in question
form.
Then the main variables, you identify!
(short instrumental)
The independent variable's the one, you test
or manipulate (echo).
The dependent variable's the measure in response
to what you change (echo).
Don't forget all the constants, the things
you must keep the same.
So you are just testing that one thing that
YOU change!
Next you do research on both variables,
to make a prediction you need to be well informed.
You write a hypothesis, including both variables
The first clause starts with if, the second with then.
(short instrumental)
Gather your materials and think of the steps
you will follow (echo).
Write down those procedures and start by making
your data table (echo).
It must have labels and units, now you can experiment,
present your results in tables and graphs.
Look at your results and come to a conclusion,
Did the data support your hypothesis?
Back up your claim citing data that you gathered.
It either SUPPORTS or IT DOES NOT SUPPORT!
Point out where you had experimental errors
that
could have affected, the outcomes you got.
Name some things you'd do a little differently
if you repeated this experiment!
Hey sounds like you're off to a great START!
YEAH!
