For her science project, Paula wants to determine if the growth of bacteria in standing rainwater changes over time. She collect

s rainwater and distributes it evenly in 6 jars and places them all indoors in a spot that does not receive a lot of sunlight to limit evaporation. Using a bacteria testing kit, she measures the bacteria in the water in the first jar on the 5th day, second jar on the 7th day, third jar on the 9th day, fourth jar on the 14th day, fifth jar on the 20th day, and sixth jar on the 24th day. What is the independent or manipulated variable in Paula's experiment?

Answer:

The correct answer is - the number of days the rainwater stands in the jars.

Explanation:

The independent variable or the manipulating variable is a variable in a research or study is the variable which affects the dependent variable or the variable that is going to measure in the study.

In the study, variables that recieves the treatment and changed in every subject are independent variables and in this study number of days the rainwater standing in various jars that might affect the growth of the bacteria in rainwater.

HELP I NEED TO KNOW ASAP!!!!

A source of error is any factor that may affect the outcome of an experiment. There are countless conceivable sources of error in any experiment; you want to focus on the factors that matter most. Identify each source of error specifically and then explain how that source of error would have affected the results. Keep in mind that an "error" to a scientist does not mean "mistake"; it more closely means "uncertainty".
Many students are tempted to say "human error", but this term is vague and lazy; any decent teacher will not accept it. Instead, think about specific things that happened during the lab exercise where the end results may have been affected.
To give an example one might find in a bio lab: perhaps a water bath's temperature was not monitored very carefully and you found that an enzyme's activity was greater than you expected. In that case, you could write something like,
"The temperature of the water bath during this exercise was not monitored carefully. It is possible that it was warmer or cooler than intended, and this would have affected the enzyme activity accordingly. The fact that our enzyme activity was found to be higher than expected leads me to believe that perhaps the water bath was too warm."

Using Models to Answer Questions About Systems
viva [34]
1A: The legs can be a adjusted, as well as the sand can be swapped out. It’s a very good design for running multiple tests.
1B: He could add books or something under the front or back legs in order to increase/decrease the incline, therefore imitating the hypothesis.
1C: He can change out the sand grains to finer ones, or coarser ones, and record his results of each test.
2: If he sets the model at a steep incline and tests it with coarse sand and fine sand, seeing which one makes a narrower, deeper hole.
