1. For this science fair project, the independent variable is the form of enzyme used to dissolve and breakdown the FOG waste, - namely, liquid, powder and solid enzymes. The dependent variable is the number of days taken for the FOG waste to breakdown. This is determined by observing the beaker everyday. The constants (control variables) are the amount of enzyme, water and FOG waste used. 2. A visit to a nearby restaurant is made and permission obtained from the owner to open their grease trap to obtain some FOG waste samples. With the help of the assistant, the ..... |
