1. experimental design: from the work you have done this semester, choose a topic and design an experiment you would be able to perform. in your design (1) state your hypothesis, (2) identify your dependent and (3) independent variables, (4) your control conditions and (5) describe your experimental procedure. you do not have to actually complete the experiment, just describe it with the application of the terms above.

Take two plants - ensure that both get the same amount of sunlight, but one will get little water and the other more water. Water would be the manipulated variable; the sun would be the independent variable and there is only one control. (1) make an observation; “water makes plants grow.” (2) draft the hypothesis “...if the .” (3) conduct the experiment; (4) gather the data; (5) Do the analysis to support or deny your hypothesis; and (6) repeat if necessary.

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
