To complete the lab report and the Experimenting with Motion portfolio, follow these steps:
Step 1: Review the videos from your lessons to understand the process of completing a lab report. Make sure you understand the steps involved, such as asking a question, forming a hypothesis, designing and conducting an experiment, analyzing the results, and drawing a conclusion.
Step 2: Start by filling out the information in the portfolio document. Begin with your name and the date.
Essential Question: Write down the question you are trying to answer through your experiment. In this case, it is "How does the height at which a ramp is placed affect the time it takes for a marble to reach the bottom of that ramp?"
Hypothesis: Predict the outcome of your experiment based on your understanding or prior knowledge. For example, you could hypothesize that as the height of the ramp increases, the time it takes for the marble to reach the bottom will decrease.
Independent Variable: Identify the variable that you will change or manipulate during the experiment. In this case, it is the height at which the ramp is placed.
Dependent Variable: Identify the variable that you will measure or observe to gather data. In this case, it is the time it takes for the marble to reach the bottom of the ramp.
Safety Procedures: Outline any safety precautions you will follow throughout the experiment. For example, you might mention wearing safety goggles or handling materials carefully.
Materials: List all the materials you need for the experiment. This can include the ramp, marbles, a timer, etc.
Procedures: Provide a step-by-step description of how you will carry out the experiment. Explain how you will vary the height of the ramp, how you will measure the time it takes for the marble to reach the bottom, and any other relevant details.
Data table: Create a table with columns for each trial and rows for the different heights of the ramp. Leave space to record the time it took for the marble to reach the bottom for each trial.
Analysis: After conducting the experiment and recording your data, you will analyze the results. Calculate the average time for each height of the ramp and look for any patterns or trends.
Conclusion: Based on your data and analysis, draw a conclusion about how the height of the ramp impacts the time it takes for the marble to reach the bottom. Explain whether your hypothesis was supported or rejected, and provide any additional observations or insights.
Remember to save the document with the appropriate filename format: FirstNameLastName-Motion portfolio.
By following these steps and providing the necessary information, you will be able to complete your lab report and the Experimenting with Motion portfolio successfully.
