    Making Connections Part 4: I nvestigating Claims


    Pre-Lab
    There is no pre-lab activity for this lab. Please continue to read the introduction
    and start working through the procedures.

    Introduction
    In this part of the laboratory activity, you will conduct an investigation to
    determine which of two opposing claims can be supported with evidence. First
    read the section below. It describes two opposing claims. Then investigate to wee
    which claim if either is supported.

    Procedure: Conflicting Claims
    Student A claims that a person will be able to squeeze a clothespin more
    times in a minute if the person exercises first. Student A suggests that
    exercising produces a faster pulse rate, which indicates that the blood is
    getting to the muscles faster.

    Student B claims that a person will be able to squeeze the clothespin more
    times in a minute if the person does not exercise first. Student B suggests
    that exercise takes energy away from the muscles, and a person who has
    been resting will have more energy.

    1. Which of the two students do you agree with? Answer: ________________

    2. How could out find out for sure which claim is correct?
    Answer:
    _____________________________________________________________
    _____________________________________________________________
    _____________________________________________________________

    Procedure: Designing an Experiment
    On the backside of the page you will find a template for designing a controlled
    experiment. Generate your own ideas about conducting an experiment to support
    the claim of the student you agreed with above. Fill in the template, conduct your
    experiment based on your generated ideas and collect your data.


    Experimental Design Template
    What question are you trying to
    answer?
    In the box to the right generate a
    question that this investigation will
    answer

    Generate a hypothesis.
    In the box to the right use an If/Then
    Statement to modify the question you
    want to answer into a testable action and
    identify the desired results.
    If:




    Then:





    Title
    Generate a title that will give readers an
    idea of what the experiment is about.

    Identify the dependent variable.
    This is the data that you will collect
    while your experiment is being
    conducted. An example would be the
    number of repetitions of opening and
    closing your clothespin

    Identify the independent variable.
    This is the one aspect of your
    experiment that will be different
    between both groups conducting your
    procedure.

    Groups
    In a controlled experiment there are two
    different groups of people conducting
    the experiment where both groups
    perform the exact same experiment but
    the experimental group has one thing
    (the independent variable) that is
    different.
    Experimental



    Control

    Data Table
    Like the other labs weve conducted you
    will need to collect data. Create a table
    that will allow you to organize all the
    information easily during the
    experiment. All aspects of your
    experiment such as trials, number of
    people, number of repetitions etc.
    should be included.



    Procedure
    Use the box to the right to generate a list
    of steps for the participants in your
    experiment to follow.
