<p> Name ______</p><p>Using the Scientific Method</p><p>You may have noticed that the temperature in a large room, such as a classroom, can vary from place to place with that room. It would be useful to find out how temperature varies within your classroom. A scientist would use an organized, logical approach to solving such a problem. In this experiment, you will use the scientific method to investigate the air temperature in different parts of your classroom. You will identity the difference between controls and variables</p><p>Control ______</p><p>Variable ______</p><p>Materials Celsius thermometer Masking tape 1/4” graph paper</p><p>State the problem: Where is the warmest and where is the coolest place in the room?</p><p>Gather information: List three factors that affect air temperature.</p><p>1.______</p><p>2. ______</p><p>3. ______Hypothesis:</p><p>Based on the factors where do you think the warmest place in the room is and why?</p><p>Based on the factors where do you think the coolest place in the room is and why?</p><p>Procedures: </p><p>1. Chose one thermometer and tape it to the area that you think will be the warmest in the room. Label the tape A</p><p>2. Chose one thermometer and tape it to the area that you think will be the coolest in the room. Label the tape B</p><p>3. After 4 minutes record you data on your chart in degrees Celsius. Remove the thermometers.</p><p>4. Put your data on the board to share it with the class.</p><p>5. Copy down the class data and do the analysis section.</p><p>Your Data:</p><p>Area of classroom Temperature in Celsius</p><p>A) Warmest</p><p>B) Coolest Class data:</p><p>A) Warmest Area in room Temperature in Celsius</p><p>B) Coolest Area in room Temperature in Celsius Analysis</p><p>1) Make two Graphs of your class data. Graph 1 – (Title) Temperatures of the warmest locations in the room - The X axis for you first graph will be labeled (Warmest Location). Let every two blocks represent each location. The Y axis will be labeled (Air temperature) with the unit (degrees Celsius). Start your Y axis with the number 15 and go to 35 with every number being represented by two blocks. Create a bar graph for each location by filling in the temperature bars.</p><p>Graph 2 Follow the same procedures as graph 1 but title your graph Temperatures of the coolest locations in the room and label your X axis (Coolest Location). Create a bar graph for the coolest locations</p><p>2) What is the control of this experiment?</p><p>3) What are the variable of this experiment?</p><p>4) What does your graph tell you about the range of your temperatures for warmest and coolest?</p><p>5) Usually a graph shows the variable that was tested along one side, or axis, of the graph. Which axis of the bar shows the variable?</p><p>6) Usually a graph shows the data that were collected on the other axis of the graph. Which axis of the graph shows the data? </p>
