My 1st variable change is-- Heat applied, - Agreed
my 2nd variable change is--item appling the heat(candle versus sterno can), -Agreed
my 3rd variable change is--spot of heat application (depth). -Agreed
My Dependent variable is---velocity of the currents. Agreed this is the dependant variable as you are measuring this. So your independant variable is??
I.e. what will you plot against what for a graph.
My constants are--The vegetable oil and thyme
There are others. Think of things that might affect the results. What other things are you holding constant?
Each week up until fair time we have to turn in one aspect of our project. This week it deals with our conrol, dependent and independent variables and constants. I will tell you that I got my idea form sciencebuddies. My project is Ocean Currents: Modeling the 'Global Conveyor belt' in your kitchen. My objective is to measure how the heat input affects the velocity of the currents. My problem was- Does an increase in water temperature affect the velocity of ocean currents? My hypothesis is-- Raising the temperature of the vegetable and thyme mixture will increase the velocity of the mixtures movement. Now this is where my question comes in, am I correct in saying that my Independent variable is-HEAT. The Control is----The time the mixture is heated for. My 1st variable change is-- Heat applied, my 2nd variable change is--item appling the heat(candle versus sterno can), my 3rd variable change is--spot of heat application (depth). My Dependent variable is---velocity of the currents. My constants are--The vegetable oil and thyme. CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE WHAT MY TEACHER WANTS. I have received 100's on the previous 3 pieces of information I had to turn in but I am worried about this one.

My Independent variable is the HEAT.
I have not gotten as far as what I will plot against what for a graph. My Dad is going to help me when I actually perform the experiment because of the fire involved. Some other things that I can think of as my constants would be the amount of time of would heat up the mixture (different intervals?). I very much appreciate your input. This is our very first science project. And at the same time we are I am building an earthquake proof house that will be turned in February 21st. So I could really use an extra brain to help me through my other project. Ocean currents project is the really big one for the science fair in May.

hi peoplz! XD
I actually am doing the exact same project for my Earth Science class. I have received the same results for the Independant Variable and Dependant Variable and am also struggling with the control... i am very pleased, however, that you got the same independant and dependant variables as i have!
