Study Notes

Experimentation

  • Experimental Variable: An aspect that changes during the course of the experiment.
  • Control (of an experiment): The variable or part of the experiment used for comparison with all other variables.
  • Blind Experiments: Information about the test is withheld from participants to minimize bias.
  • Double-Blind Experiments: Neither the experimenters nor the participants know the identities of the experimental setup.

Data Collection

  • Subjective: Data based on personal opinions.
  • Objective: Measurable data that is not based on personal feelings or preferences.

Data Representation

  • Bar Graph: Useful for comparing items or demonstrating relationships between groups. Shows changes overtime and emphasizes significant differences in data.
  • Double Bar Graph: Compares the relative sizes of two sets of data.
  • Legend: Provides information to understand a graph. Identifies different sets of data.
  • Circle Graph/Pie Chart: Represents data by dividing a circle into portions, revealing the size of parts compared to the whole.
  • Line Graphs: Record individual data points, enabling identification of changes from point to point.
  • X-axis: The horizontal line represents the independent variable.
  • Y-axis: The vertical line represents the dependent variable.
