Name: ________________________________________ Period: ______ Date: __________________________ PRACTICE: IDENTIFYING VARIABLES Identify the manipulated variable, responding variable, controlled variables, control group and experimental group. Possible sources of inherent error? An investigator spills dye on a culture plate and notices that the bacteria live despite exposure to sunlight. He decides to test if the dye is protective against ultraviolet light. He exposes one group of culture plates containing bacteria and dye and another group containing only bacteria to UV light. The bacteria on all plates die. You want to grow large tomatoes and notice that a name-brand fertilizer claims to produce larger produce than a generic brand. How would you test this claim? A scientist wishes to test her hypothesis that a commonly used drug causes heart attacks in some individuals. What kind of study should she initiate? What would you expect her experimental and responding variables to be?
