Homework

If you didn't pass the first test on the basics of science, this homework will be a chance for you to learn what you missed in class.

First, go to this website and read about variables.
For each type of variable, write a definition in your own words. 

Make sure to read the link about creating a fair test. Then, write one paragraph explaining why a "fair test" is so important in science.

Finally, identify a) the independent variable, b) the dependent variable and c) at least five controlled variables that would be needed for an experiment to test this hypothesis:

"If ants are given the opportunity to eat sugar or bread, then it will be found ants choose sugar more often than they choose bread."

Write all this on a sheet of paper and turn it in by this Friday, which is Friday the 13th.

Homework is 10% of your class grade. Plus future tests will also include questions related to the basics of science. You need to understand these basic concepts in order to understand science.
