Recap An atom is: a. made of different elements b. the smallest unit of matter c. The biggest unit of matter Recap Compounds are made of: a. different type of atoms chemically combined b. same type of atoms chemically combined c. same type of bonds chemically combined TYPES OF VARIABLES WHAT IS A VARIABLE? INDEPENDENT VARIABLE SPOT THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE: SPOT THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE: DEPENDENT VARIABLE SPOT THE DEPENDENT VARIABLE: SPOT THE DEPENDENT VARIABLE: CONTROLLED VARIABLE SPOT THE CONTROLLED VARIABLE: SPOT THE CONTROLLED VARIABLE: CONTROLLED VARIABLE RECAP: In the following example, identify the independent and dependent variable What are the variables that we need to keep constant in this experiment? Controlled Variables IDENTIFY THE TYPES OF VARIABLES IN THIS SCENARIO: ANSWERS: IDENTIFY THE TYPES OF VARIABLES IN THIS SCENARIO: ANSWERS:
