*For this experiment, the independent variable is the type of wood used. The dependent variable is the temperature of the water. This is determined by measuring the temperature using a thermometer. The constants (control variables) are the amount of firewood used, the amount of water used, the formation of the 4 wood pieces and the height of the beaker from the firewood. *Fill the beaker with 300ml of water. Measure the temperature of the water then put it aside *Place the ceramic tile or bricks on the table. Be sure to protect the table with a large baking tray ..... |
