Sec 1E : Independent & Dependent Variables
Students were not able to identify the different types of variables when going through the worksheet questions. They were taught only variables that vary and kept constant.
It was a challenge to really make them understand. Till I stumble on a website. After reading, I decided to approach differently. Basically to define the term ‘independent, dependent and controlled variables’ in simple words such as What will I be changing in the experiment?, What will I be measuring or observing? And What will I be keeping the same in the experiment?. Sufficient practices were given with different experiment questions and students need to identify the 3 types of variables. Majority of the students were able understand better when asked to raise their hands.
