cobra Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 hey, i need help on stating varibles in "does ice melt faster in air or water?". I'm not sure if this experiment has manipulating and responding variables. if so, can you tell me. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 it melts faster in water, due to surface area adhesion.and cold water as opposed to hot works better too, I know it sounds contra intuitive, but it`s just a fact, use cold water the reasons escape me at the moment, but it`s quite logical when you hear/read it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 The manipulating variable is the one that causes the effect, I.E. the temperature of the medium you place the ice in (air or water). The responding variable is the one that responds, I.E. the time it takes the ice to completely melt in that medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glider Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I'm not sure temperature can be the correct independent (manipulating) variable here. The stated aim of the experiment is to test whether ice melts faster in water or air. This makes the medium the independent variable. Rate of melting is the dependent (responding) variable. However, to test the hypothesis that 'Ice melts faster in water/air' (1-tailed) or 'there will be a difference in melting times of ice in water or in air' (2-tailed), the temperature of the medium would be a confounding variable (if the two were at different temps), so it would be up to the researcher to control it, ensuring the air and water temps were the same across trials.

Sayonara Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 That's a bit more sensible. Trust me to use I.E. where I should use E.G. (Although it is for a science fair, not a Nobel prize ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
