SubjectScientific Investigations

This resource provides an in-depth look at scientific investigations, focusing on the identification of independent, dependent, and controlled variables. The goal is for students to understand how to formulate scientific questions and develop testable hypotheses. The document outlines definitions and examples of different types of variables, such as independent variables (the one that is changed), dependent variables (the result that is measured), and controlled variables (constants in the experiment). It includes worked examples and practice scenarios, encouraging students to apply their knowledge by identifying variables and writing hypotheses in a structured 'If... then...' format. Additionally, it contrasts broad scientific questions with specific testable hypotheses, offering exercises for students to practice transforming questions into hypotheses. This resource is suitable for enhancing students' understanding of the scientific method and experimentation.
