A science student observes that a dissolvable antacid tablet acts faster in relieving stomach pain when taken with warm water th
an when taken with water at room temperature. Based on the observation, suggest a potential problem that can be studied. Also, list the dependent, independent, and controlled variables that can exist in such an investigation.
A potential problem that can be studied is "How does the temperature of injected water effect the effectiveness of medication tablets?" The dependent variable will be the medication tablet, and the independent will be the water temperature. The controlled variables will be the amount of medication, water, speed water is ingested, and diet of the person prior to ingesting the medication.
