Lyndon is investigating whether putting plastic on her windows will seal out cold winter drafts. she covers a window on the south side of her house with plastic and measures the inside temperature near the window. she also measures the inside temperature near a window without plastic on the north side of her house. the windows are the same size and design. why is this not an ideal controlled investigation?
a. the windows should be different sizes to introduce variation.
b. the drafts at each window may be different because the windows aren’t near each other.
c. temperature isn’t a good indicator of cold winter drafts.
d. outside temperature is a better indicator of cold winter drafts than inside temperature.
e. the type of plastic used in the investigation isn’t mentioned.

the answer is b. the drafts at each window  may be different because the windows aren't near each other

Answer is: B.The drafts at each window may be different because the windows aren’t near each other.

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable.

Dependent variable (in this example temperature) is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.

Dependent variables depend on the values of independent variables (in this example the draft). The dependent variables represent the output or outcome whose variation is being studied.

thats how its supposed to be

the correct answer would be b. amelia, because the particals of gas move really fast (charged particals) and gas also has a lot of room (particals move independently) so the only answer that has both of those is amelia's.
