Experiments usually have several controlled variables. These are variables that must be kept constant in all parts of an experiment. For example, if an experiment is testing the effect of sunlight on the growth rate of 5 seeds, the only variable that should change should be the amount of sunlight. All other variables should remain the same to ensure that sunlight is the only aspect affecting the results. The other variables, such as soil type, amount of water, type/amount of fertilizer, are the controlled variables. Looking back at the simulation experiment on the meteorite, describe two variables that should have been controlled.
Suggest five experimental research titles that is can be easily done(perform), interesting, will benefit the situation today, and not common researches.(for a STEM Student)
For example: Alternative herbal plant for Aloe vera to make a handwash gel.
A team of researchers is interested in testing the amount of oxygen gas (O2) produced when the same species of plant is exposed to different colors of visible light. The research team has developed a hypothesis to test and designed experimental conditions to run.
They have submitted the work to you for feedback and approval. Your job is to provide feedback concerning both the hypothesis and the experimental design. This will enable them to make the necessary changes to obtain approval for their research.
The Team’s Hypothesis:
The levels of oxygen gas will be higher for plants exposed to visible red light.
How would you improve the hypothesis while also putting it into a proper hypothesis with an IF and THEN statement?

It is important that you read each question completely before you begin. An agricultural biologist was evaluating two newly developed varieties of wheat as potential crops. In an experiment, Seedings were germinated on moist paper towels at 20°C for 48 hours. Oxygen consumption of the two-day-old seedlings was measured at different temperatures. The data are shown in the graph below. CUMULATIVE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION O Variety A 7"C - Variety A 17e O Variety B 7°C • Variety B 17°C 20 40 Time (min) 60 8. In a second experiment, variety A seedlings at both temperatures were treated with a chemical that prevents NADH from being oxidized to NAD*. Predict he most likely effect of the chemical on metabolism and oxygen consumption of the treated seedlings. Explain your prediction. v + , N - C (qu) Oxygen Consumptionarrow_forwardControl variables, are those that the investigator does not want to vary systematically with the independent variable. The control variable should remain constant throughout the experiment. Let us examine an actual experiment to clarify the principles of the scientific investigation. Suppose a scientist is interested in studying the relationship between the color of light and photosynthesis in plants. From previous research, the experimenter knows that light is necessary for photosynthesis and that oxygen gas is produced as a by-product. The sunlight needed for photosynthesis, as well as the light from artificial sources such as light bulbs, is white light. White light is composed of all the different colors of the visible light spectrum. By using a prism, a solid triangular piece of glass, white light can be separated into its many wavelengths. The wavelengths become visible as different colors. Not all wavelengths are absorbed and used by green plants for photosynthesis.

His friend Jun told him that a dilution of detergent and spraying it to the bugs present on his plants will make them go away. Problem is. Jun does not know the right amount of dilution that will be effective without harming the plant itself. Nicol must devise an experiment plan. He asked you to make a summary table of the experiment design. Table 1.
