Variable Changes

This is our groups reading task for last week and this week. We are learning about fair test science project. Looking at keeping thing the same while it's matters are changing. These are a few task I have filled showing what I think.
Science Investigation
Fair Testing
Fill out the following table to help you explain the Growing in the dark: Plants and light experiment

Aim - what are you trying to find out?
  • Do plants need light to grow?

Hypothesis - what do you think your results will be?
  • The plant in the sun will grow with good health, and the plant in the cupboard will grow but not with full pieces
Independent Variable - what variable will you change?
  • I will have both plants have sunlight so it can grow healthily.  
Dependent Variable - what variable will you measure?
  • The variable I will measure is the height of the plant
Controlled Variable - what variables will you keep the same?
  • The same type of seeds, the type of soil, and the same amount of water used for the plants

The students of Room 4 wanted to find out what colour of bird feeders birds preferred. FIll our the table below thinking of which variables you would make independent, dependent and controlled.


Aim - what are you trying to find out?
  • To find out what colour of bird feeders with the birds prefer?
Hypothesis - what do you think your results will be?
  • From all the feeders, the birds will mostly prefer eating from the red feeder
Independent Variable - what variable will you change?
  • I would change the food and also the colour
Dependent Variable - what variable will you measure?
  • Measuring how many visits the colour feeders get . After 5 days the colour feeder with the most visits was red
Controlled Variable - what variables will you keep the same?
