What is a hypothesis in the context of RIP?

Back

A hypothesis is a testable prediction about the relationship between variables in an experiment.

Front

What is the purpose of materials in a RIP?

Back

Materials are all the items and equipment needed to conduct the experiment.

Front

What does data analysis involve in the RIP?

Back

Data analysis involves interpreting the data collected during the experiment to draw conclusions.

Front

What is a variable in an experiment?

Back

A variable is any factor that can change in an experiment, affecting the outcome.

Front

What is the difference between independent and dependent variables?

Back

Independent variables are manipulated by the researcher, while dependent variables are measured to see how they are affected.

Front

What is the significance of data tables in the RIP?

Back

Data tables organize the results of the experiment, making it easier to analyze and interpret the data.

Front

How do graphs help in the RIP?

Back

Graphs visually represent data, making trends and patterns easier to identify.

Front

What is the trend in data analysis?

Back

A trend is a general direction in which something is developing or changing, often identified through data.
