Hi, so I did the coin drop experiment. I finished project, wrote my hypothesis, my data, my observations, and my conclusion. What I need help is that in this experiment I don't know which on is the independent and dependent variable. That's all I need. Can someone please help me? Note* I don't have too much time so PLEASE HELP A.S.A.P.! Thanks!
Sure, I can help you with that! In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that you deliberately manipulate or change in order to observe its effect on the dependent variable. The dependent variable, on the other hand, is the variable that you measure or observe to see how it's influenced by the independent variable.
In the case of your coin drop experiment, you mentioned that you have written your hypothesis, data, observations, and conclusion. To determine the independent and dependent variables, let's start by understanding the purpose of your experiment and what variables you are examining.
1. Purpose: What is the goal or question of your experiment? Are you investigating the factors that affect the outcome of a coin drop?
2. Variables: What specific factors or parameters did you manipulate or measure during your experiment? Consider what changes you intentionally made and what observations you collected.
Once you have identified the purpose and variables, you can determine the independent and dependent variables based on the relationships you're testing.
If you can provide more information about your experiment, including the purpose and what exactly you manipulated or observed, I can help you identify the independent and dependent variables more accurately.
