Cardio INQUIRY

Name

Question:
What effect does change in volume (decibles) have on the cardiovascular system?

What is the independent variable (the one you change)?

What are three controlled variables (the ones you keep the same)?

What is the dependent variable (the one that changes in response)?

How will you measure the impact of changing your independent variable?

Hypothesis:

If the ___________________________ is __________________________________

(keeping _____________, _____________, and _________________) constant, then

__________________________ will ____________________________________ as

measured with a ________________________.

 List ALL of the materials used in the experiment.
Materials:

The procedure is where you outline step by step what you did to test your problem.
1) List numerically all steps like a cooking recipe
2) Every point begins with an order or command - Good = Get, mass, weigh, do, determine
Bad = Then next, next, after,
3) Make sure you include everything if it helped you test the problem.

Procedure:

•Procedure is reasonably •Procedure is accurate,
accurate, numbered, and in numbered, and in command

 In the observations section you want to record all of the results in a TABLE with appropriate units.

Observations:

Evaluation Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4

Observation •Few experimental trials
•Controls not maintained
•Results poorly recorded or
characterized (no tables)
•Few experimental trials •Sufficient experimental
•Controls not maintained trials
•Results recorded or •Controls maintained
characterized •Results sufficiently recorded
or characterized
• Good conventions
•Valid number of trials
•Controls maintained
•Results well recorded or
characterized
• Perfect conventions
In the discussion, you:
1) Restate the problem and why you are doing the experiment
2) What is your hypothesis and was it correct or incorrect?
3) Using your results prove your statement from step 2.
4) Describe why these observations occurred. (NOTE: Why a colour change occurred, not that a colour
change occurred). You may have to look this information up!
5) Conclusion…did you solve the problem?
6) If you did not solve the problem, state what you would have expected to see, some potential sources of
error or other reason why you could not solve the problem.
