Today you will be investigating how a change in temperature affects a gas inside of a container.

Hypothesis: What is the effect of temperature on the motion of particles?

Designing an Experiment After developing your hypothesis, the next step in the inquiry process is to design a controlled experiment in order to test your hypothesis. In a controlled experiment, all variables are kept constant except the one that you are testing. The variables you keep the same are called controlled variables. The variable that you change or test is called the manipulated variable. The variable that responds to changes you make is called the responding variable.

a. How would you design a controlled experiment to test the hypothesis you made about the volume of a gas?

b. What is the manipulated variable in your experiment?

c. What is the responding variable in your experiment?

A. How would you design a controlled experiment to test the hypothesis you made about the volume of a gas?

I think you should choose containers that can expand. Place one in a hot area, another in an area with room temperature, and another inside a freezer or a cold area.

b. What is the manipulated variable in your experiment?

The manipulated variable in the experiment would be the temperature. (hot, room temperature, cold)

c. What is the responding variable in your experiment?

The responding variable in th experiment would be the volume of gas inside each container.

Prior to putting the containers in its assigned places, volume must first be recorded. Another measure of volume must be taken during the experiment and last measurement would be taken after the exposure to any given temperature.
