8. Bell Ringer #6
Mr. Brummett wanted to see if larger objects fall
faster than smaller objects. Mr. Brummett suggested
dropping students to test his hypothesis, but thought
it would cause too much paper work. He decided to
use a large and small metal sphere instead (just like
Galileo).
What is the independent variable?(what is changed
between the two groups?)
Constant?(the variable kept the same throughout the
experiment)
Dependent Variable? (variable that you
observed/measured)

9. Bell Ringer # 7
Marcus usually uses Duracell batteries for his radio
controlled car. He gets around 5 hours of playing time
and begins to feel that his battery life should last
longer. He decides that he is going to design an
experiment to see if there are better batteries. Define
the following:
Independent variable
Dependent variable
Controlled variable

10. Bell Ringer # 8
Justin usually blows his nose using Kleenex tissues. His snot
keeps leaking through the tissue. He decided he is going to
create an experiment to find out if there is something better.
What is his dependent variable?
A. amount of tissue
B. mass of snots the tissue can hold
C. Justin
D. type of tissue
E. Kleenex

11. Bell Ringer # 9
Mr. PALMER wanted to see how different types of music
affected plant growth. He played different types of music: heavy
metal, rap, R&B, alternative, pop, country, and classical music.
Identify the independent and dependent variable.
A. high plant growth
B. Plant growth
C. Mr. Griffin
D. types of music
E. classical music resulted in the highest plant growth

12. Bell Ringer # 10

in water would affect plant
growth. Design the experiment.

plants faster than soil. Design the experiment
and identify the independent, dependent, and
control and constants.
