Independent Variable The known info at the beginning of an experiment, ban be measured, and is on the x-axis of a graph.
What variables might affect the # of pennies a paper cup can hold? ~ Penny placement ~ Water movement ~ Size of cup
Is there a relationship between the capacity of lifeboats and the # of pennies they hold? No, the greater the capacity, the more pennies a boat can hold.
How were you able to predict the # of pennies a new boat would hold? Using the two coordinate graph and the line of best fit.
Did any results surprise you? If so, what do you think happened. Unexpected results may have come from changing more variables than just boat capacity.
