Station 2
For the following example, identify
1) The dependent variable – Aggression of participants
2) The independent variable – Amount of sleep
3) The experimental condition(s)/experimental group(s) – Groups with 3 and 6 hours
of sleep
4) The control condition/control group – Group that slept as long as they wanted to
A researcher is studying the effect of sleep on aggression,
thinking that less sleep will lead to more aggression. She has
some people sleep 6 hours per night, some people sleep 3
hours per night and some people sleep as much as they
want. She then monitors aggressive behavior during
basketball games among participants.
Station 3
List AND describe the steps of the scientific method. Use your resources if needed.
Station 4
Define the following terms in your packet:
Dependent variable - the variable that may change due to the independent variable
Independent variable -The variable that you change in the experiment
Control Group - A group that is not changed in an experiment
Constant – A factor that remains the same
Observation – Using your five senses to collect qualitative data
Station 5
Convert the following. Write the complete problem.
2000 mg = 2 g
5 L = 5,000 mL
16 cm = 160 mm
104 km = 104,000 m
198 g = 0.198 kg
2500 m = 2.5 km
480 cm = 4.8 m
75 mL = 0.075 L
65 g = 65,000 mg
5.6 kg = 5,600 g
Station 6
Write question and answer!
For the following example, identify
1) The dependent variable – Heartbeats
2) The independent variable – Use of music
3) The experimental condition(s)/experimental group(s) – Group with music
4) The control condition/control group – Group without music
A researcher is curious to find out what effect classical music has on
people’s level of relaxation (as measured by heart rate). He suspects
that listening to classical music will make people feel more calm and
relaxed. He lets one group listen to classical music for one hour. He lets
another group sit in a quiet room for one hour (i.e they hear no music).
After one hour, he monitors the heart rate of each participant to
measure their level of relaxation.
Station 7
Convert the following numbers from standard notation to scientific notation. Write the complete problem!
0.3 = 3 x 10-1
0.452 = 4.52 x 10-1
0.0012 = 1.2 x 10-3
0.004 = 4 x 10-3
0.5781 = 5.781 x 10-1
46 = 4.6 x 101
60000 = 6 x 104
5003 = 5.003 x 104
7010 = 7.01 x 103
7812 = 7.812 x 103
