Strictly online exercise introducing the concept of developing a hypothesis, identifying the independent and dependent variables, and presenting results graphically. Students interpret their graphs by analyzing slope and intercept.
Student Objectives
- Identify the difference between independent and dependent variables in experimental settings
- Recognize the best way to experimentally test the relationship between two variables
- Determine the proper way to graphically present data
- Analyze graphical data by calculating the linear slope
- Use graphical methods to predict and extrapolate from data
