The goal of an experimental investigation is to determine how changes in an independent variable affects another variable, which is called the dependent variable.
Remember: When designing an Experimental Investigation it is important that you only have one independent variable and one dependent variable. All other variables must be controlled, meaning they must stay the same.
FYI: Controlled variables are not the same as a Control for your Investigation. The following will explain this.
Start Experiment Design:
I want you to understand some of the thought processes for designing an experiment that meets Science Fair Project requirements.
1. You need to have a purpose for your investigation. At this point you may not know exactly what you want to do but let’s assume you want to work with plants. I’d search the web and find different project ideas about plants.
You will find ideas on this page?
Let’s assume you decide to investigate how light effects plant growth. At this point you need to write a basic purpose. I point out that this is might only be a BASIC Purpose, meaning you may need to improve it.
Basic Purpose of Investigation: How light effects plant growth.
I’ll come back to the purpose, but next you need to write your science fair question.
2. The question for an experimental investigation must identify both the independent variable and the dependent variable. Your basic purpose identifies light as the independent variable and plant growth as the dependent variable.
Don’t Forget: The independent variable and the dependent variable for an experimental investigation must be measurable.
Measuring the Independent Variable
How does one measure light?
Light is very general. You need to be more specific about the independent variable. You will get the point after reading the following questions.
Do you want to measure how different types of light sources, such as sunlight, artificial light, or colored light effects plant growth? This is a good idea for a science project.
Do you want to measure how changes in the amount of one type of light effects plants growth?
This is another good idea for a science project.See ????? for more ideas for how light affects plant growth.
You may have other ideas about the light you want to use, but for this article, I will give examples for measuring the amount of one type of light.
The Independent Variable is the amount of light the plant received.
Ideas for how to change the amount of light.
1. Use sunlight which changes during the day as well as from one day to the next.
You can also use direct and indirect sunlight.
2. If you use artificial light you can decide when and for how long the plant will receive this light. You also have the option to control the wattage of light used–its color–type (fluorescent, UV, incandescent). Just use the same type of light for each test plant–see controlled var

Biologists recognize five levels of cell organization. The lowest and simplest is the cellular level. Organisms here are either unicellular organisms, like protozoa, or colonial organisms. Colonial organisms are composed of single-celled individuals that stay together to sustain the life of the whole colony. Next on the scale of complexity is the level occupied by tissue. A tissue is a group of similar cells that perform a similar activity. Tissues that are organized around a common function together make up an organ, the third level of complexity. The fourth level of organization is the system, formed by a group of organs that together perform a specific bodily process. The fifth and highest level is the organism level, in which body systems work together in a structure capable of independent life.
Answer:
<em>The correct option is b. the model is insufficiently labeled</em>
Explanation:
Models showing certain cycles should clearly show the reactants and the products being formed. They should be able to depict the various changes in the reactants which lead to the formation of the products.
The diagram shown in the picture is a poor depiction for the process of photosynthesis as well as cellular respiration. I does not tell us the products being formed. Like oxygen gas is released during photosynthesis but it is just labelled as gas in the diagram. The sugar being formed is also not named which is glucose.
The answer is; C
Use the Hardy Weinberg equiation for population in assumed equilibrium. ( p+q = 1)
If p = 0.3 then q=1-p = 1-0.3 = 0.7
People who are heterozygous for the disease are represented by 2pq = 2 * 0.3 * 0.7
0.42
