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.

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

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.

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.

That's a bit more sensible.

Trust me to use I.E. where I should use E.G.

AhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhI made it mahhhhyself!

Prepare your bladder for imminent release!

Yay! I’m gonna be sick!

ake a good look, children. It will prepare you for your adult lives in our nightmarish corporate system.

Weren't you banished to Foodcourtia? Shouldn't you be...frying something?

Oh, I quit when I found out about this

You quit... being banished?

But you can't have an invasion without me! I was in operation IMPENDING DOOM 1! Don't you remember?

How could we forget?

 

You started all those fires.

I put the fires out.

You made them worse.

Worse? Or better?

 

(Hold on, why am I doing the zim parts when you're doing the tallest parts? THIS IS ALL WRONG)

You will be sent to a planet so mysterious, no one has even heard of it. And those who have heard of it dare not speak its name!
