Step 7: Controlled Experiment
To conduct a scientific investigation, care must be taken to follow experimental procedures. You must design an experiment to test your hypothesis. When planning your experiment remember to:
* Keep everything the same except for the single variable being tested, which for this science fair guide about using slime for the experimental experiment, the independent variable is :
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE: the viscosity of the glue
* A Controlled Experiment should be used. This experiment will be used as the standard. This means that you will use glues with different viscosities and compare the viscosity of the slime made with the SLIME’S VISCOSITY MADE WITH THE CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT.
Since the original experiment specified Elemer’s White School Glue–use this as your CONTROL EXPERIMENT (your standard).
