Jason wanted to find out how he could increase the number of popcorn kernels that pop when cooked. He hypothesized that more ker

nels would pop if he used more oil. To test this, he placed 100 kernels of “Pop Rite’ popcorn into a popcorn popper that contained different amounts of oil. He used the following amounts of oil: 5 mL, 10 mL, 15 mL, 20 mL, and 25 mL He conducted the test 3 times for each amount of oil. He then counted the number of kernels that had popped. Each time he heated the oil for 2 minutes and cooked the popcorn for 4 minutes.

Answer:

This question is incomplete, it is asking to identify the following variables in the question:

Independent Variable: DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF OIL

Dependent Variables: NUMBER OF KERNELS THAT POPPED

Controlled Variables: TIME FOR POPPING, SAME BRAND OF KERNEL, SAME COOKING TIME

Explanation:

The independent variable of an experiment refers to the variable that the experimenter intentionally manipulates or changes for the purpose of effecting a measurable response in another variable (dependent variable). In this experiment, the independent variable is DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF OIL used because this is what Jason changes in the experiment.

Contrarily, the dependent variable is the variable that the experimenter measures in response to the independent variable. In this experiment, Jason measures the NUMBER OF KERNELS THAT POPPED from using different amounts of oil. Hence, the NUMBER OF KERNELS THAT POPPED is the dependent variable.

Controlled variables or constants are those variables that must be kept constant or unchanged throughout the experiment in order not to influence the findings of the experiment. In this case, the following variables were kept constant for all the groups: TIME FOR POPPING , SAME BRAND OF KERNEL (Pop rite), SAME COOKING TIME (4 mins).
