There can be several controlled variables. If an experiment is to be useful, only one variable at a time can be manipulated intentionally. All other variables must be controlled throughout all parts of the experiment. If more than one variable is altered, the results of an experiment cannot be interpreted with any validity.
A study was attempted to find if the length of the string in a string telephone affected its sound clarity.
I need to find the manipulated variable, responding variable, and 4 controlled variable. For the manipulated variable I got: Length of the string Is this correct?
Responding variable: Sound clarity Is this correct?
Controlled variable: String telephone Is this correct?
Another controlled variable: Audio used Is this correct?
I only have 2 controlled variables at the moment, so if you could add 2 more or 4 more if I have the 2 controlled variables wrong, then that would be wonderful. Thanks! Oh and I might ask more questions if you answer this question.
"String telephone" not specific enough. The thickness and tension of the string and what it is made of would be controlled variables.
Audio level (db) would be more specific.
For the string telephone, doesn't controlled variable mean the variable or variables that aren't changed ? So wouldn't that be stating that the string telephone is the one that isn't being changed, like to a different model ?
tanks for the other controlled variables and fixing my audio used i appreciate !
You're on the right track with your answers so far. Let me confirm and provide additional controlled variables for your study:
1. Manipulated Variable: Length of the string (Yes, this is correct.)
2. Responding Variable: Sound clarity (Yes, this is correct.)
3. Controlled Variable: String telephone (Yes, this is correct.)
Now, let's add some more controlled variables:
4. Controlled Variable: Material of the string telephone - To ensure a fair comparison, you should use the same type of string telephone made from the same materials for each test. This will eliminate any potential variation in sound quality due to the type of material.
5. Controlled Variable: Tension of the string - Keep the tension of the string consistent throughout the experiment. If the tension varies between different trials, it could affect the sound vibrations and impact the clarity of the sound.
6. Controlled Variable: Location/environment - Conduct the experiment in the same location/environment each time. Changes in background noise or acoustics can influence the sound clarity, so maintaining a consistent environment helps ensure accurate results.
7. Controlled Variable: Volume of the audio source - Keep the volume of the audio source (e.g., the speaker) at a constant level throughout the experiment. Changing the volume could influence the perception of sound clarity independent of the string length.
By controlling these variables, you can focus on how the length of the string affects the sound clarity without interference from other factors. Let me know if you have any more questions!
