So I have yo do a Lab for science (this is our very first lab, well we did a second one) & I really need help. This ia fictional lab experiment not a real one we are not really doing the experiment. Me 7 my group was doing it together we just have to do our own procedures (we did the problem, & gather into)
Here it is
Science observe the world around them. Then they mkae an educated guess, or hypothesis, about what they see. Next, they run experiments to see if their hypothesis is correct.
My sci teacher gave us a hyothesis
here it is (btw that paragraph i just show you i didn't wrote that i copyed this from my handout)
Maria thinks that taking the bus to school is slower/longer than walking to school.
Now me & my group did this together
Problem: Does taking the bus to school is slower than walking to school?
Research (we gather info together we did not use the computer)
Bus - Traffic, Contructions on the road, Come late
Walking - Waiting for the bus/cars to pass by, school far away, kidnap (that could happen you know)
that it for homework all we have to do is write the procedure which I need help on please help me.
Thank You!!! :)
The first sentence i made a mistake
i mean So I have to DO this lab for sci
sorry about that
How would you gather the information for your study? How would you measure the time taken in walking and in riding the bus?
Well we all know that
everyone knows that sometimes buses come here late but that's a reason
1. the driver may have to pick up some who may live far away (i was in a mini bus this year & like the bus come very late that bcuz he hav to pick up a special student so my dad got mad so he transper me into a big bus0
2. snow (during the winter season that happen to me last year)
3. first day (happen every year at the beginning of the skool year bus come late)
that's it also sometimes people have to wait for the car to pass by (it could be traffic you kno) or the school could be far.
well that what what we know
we have to write 10 steps about how Maria is going to find out is the bus is slower than walking to school or not so she is the variable
and the control variable can be her friend to test to see if the walking is faster than riding on the bus to school
I'm going to try do the procedure by y self then when I'm done i'm going to give it to you to see if it good ok
To write the procedure for your fictional lab experiment, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify and list the variables: In your experiment, the independent variable is the mode of transportation (bus or walking), and the dependent variable is the time it takes to reach school.
2. Determine the control group: The control group in this case would be walking to school, as it is the standard or usual method of transportation.
3. Design the experiment: Decide how you will collect data to compare the two modes of transportation. Here is a suggested procedure:
a. Choose a starting point that is equidistant from both the bus stop and the school.
b. Measure the distance between the starting point and the school.
c. Assign one person from your group to take the bus and another person to walk.
d. Decide on a specific time to start the experiment, ensuring that both individuals have enough time to reach school.
e. Measure the time it takes for each person to reach the school using their respective mode of transportation.
f. Repeat the experiment multiple times to gather more data and ensure accuracy. You may choose to conduct the experiments on different days or at different times to account for variations in traffic or other factors.
g. Record the data in a table, noting the mode of transportation and the time taken for each trial.
4. Analyze and interpret the data: Once you have completed the experiment and collected the data, you can analyze and interpret it to determine if the hypothesis is supported or not. Calculate the average time for each mode of transportation and compare them.
5. Draw conclusions: Based on the data analysis, you can draw conclusions about whether the hypothesis is correct or not. Consider the factors you researched during the "Research" step and how they may have influenced the outcomes.
Remember, this is a fictional experiment, so make sure you clearly state that in your report. Good luck with your lab assignment!
