Experiment research

Today we will be using the internet to decide what we ant to run our experiments on.  For the next assignment, you are going to plan and carry out an experiment similar to the ones we've done together in class, but you get to decide what you want to look at. Anything that we can realistically carry out in school is fine. For today:

1. Decide what area you are most interested in (food tests, chemistry, physics etc.)
2. what you would like to look at in that area (e.g. for food it could e the presence of protein or carbs in certain foods, levels of fat or energy in different things or something else like how long they last for in different conditions).
3. Decide what your independent and dependent variables are (make sure you only have one independent).
4. If you have time, start listing materials you might need and what your method might look like.

This may be useful to help you work out what you want to measure and how - http://stattrek.com/ap-statistics-1/variables.aspx
