1
The independent variable in this experiment is
The mass of the load
The speed of the movement
The force required to move the load
The angle of incline
2
A controlled variable for this experiment would be
How many flowers grow on each plant during the experiment
The use of fertlilser
How tall the daisies grow
The type of daisies grown
3
The independent variable in this experiment is
The type of plant
The use of fertliser
The amount of water
How tall the daisies grow
4
How can we improve the reliability of an experiment?
Repeat the experiment
Only do the experiment once - so there is less variation
Repeat the experiment and calculate an average.
Change the experimental design
5
Which of the following would NOT need to be controlled in this experiment?
The angle of incline
The size of the load
The material of the ramp
The mass of the load
6
An observation about the pictured experiment is
Fertiliser helps flowers grow
Mr Krandiski's daisies grew taller
Mr Krandiski's daisies grew better
Mr Krandiski likes to garden more
7
When drawing a graph, the independent variable goes
on the vertical axis
neither axis
on either axis, it doesn't matter
on the horizontal axis
8
What conclusion can be drawn from this experiment?
The angle of incline has no impact on the for required
The steeper the ramp, the more force is required
The steeper the ramp, the less force is required
The force required changes the angle of the ramp
9
What is wrong with this graph?
Its scale is wrong
It should be a bar graph
There are no units on the vertical axis
It is missing an axis label on the horizontal axis
10
The dependent variable in this experiment is
The speed of the movement
The angle of incline
The force required to move the load
The mass of the load
