How much water flows through a faucet at different openings?
Purpose/Question:Purpose/Question:
water faucet opening (closed, half open, fully open)
Independent Variable Independent Variable (what I want to change):(what I want to change):
amount of water flowing measured in liters per minute
Dependent Variables (what Dependent Variables (what I observe):I observe):

• the faucet • water pressure, or how much the water is "pushing"
Controlled Controlled Variables/Control (what I Variables/Control (what I keep the same):keep the same):
"Different water pressure might also cause different amounts of water to flow and different faucets may behave differently, so to insure a fair test I want to keep the water pressure and the faucet the same for each faucet opening that I test."

Does heating a cup of water allow it to dissolve more sugar?
Purpose/Question:Purpose/Question:
temperature of the water measured in degrees Centigrade
Independent Variable Independent Variable (what I want to change):(what I want to change):
amount of sugar that dissolves completely measured in grams
Dependent Variables (what Dependent Variables (what I observe):I observe):

• stirring• type of sugar
Controlled Controlled Variables/Control (what I Variables/Control (what I keep the same):keep the same):
"More stirring might also increase the amount of sugar that dissolves and different sugars might dissolve in different amounts, so to insure a fair test I want to keep these variables the same for each cup of water."

Does fertilizer make a plant grow bigger?Purpose/Question:Purpose/Question:
amount of fertilizer measured in grams
Independent Variable Independent Variable (what I want to change):(what I want to change):
• growth of the plant measured by its height • growth of the plant measured by the number of leaves
Dependent Variables (what Dependent Variables (what I observe):I observe):

• same type of fertilizer • same size pot for each plant • same type of plant in each pot • same type and amount of soil in each pot • same amount of water and light • make measurements of growth for each plant at the same time
Controlled Variables/Control Controlled Variables/Control (what I keep the same):(what I keep the same):
"The many variables above can each change how fast a plant grows, so to insure a fair test of the fertilizer, each of them must be kept the same for every pot."
