What is the effect of _on ___?

The first blank requires an independent variable that the investigator will change in some way. Temperature, light, & time are easy variables to change. The second blank requires the investigator to identify a logical connection between the cause (the independent variable) and the effect (the dependent variable). Here are examples of illogical cause and effect: What is the effect of rain on cloud type? What is the effect of clothing type on the weather?

Post the cause and effect question under the discussion tab of the home page (first name only - one entry per student) and wait for approval.

After the cause and effect question is approved, write the variables at the head of the chart below and make a list of all the ways that these materials or conditions can be changed and measured. This list will generate some ideas to think about for the hypothesis and also help identify which variables will not be changed during the experiment.
