1. For this science fair project, the independent variable is the concentration of perchlorate and turmeric juice. The dependent variable is the heart rate of the daphnia. This is determined by counting the number of heart beats per minute. The constants (control variables) are the amount of perchlorate, and the amount and concentration of turmeric juice. 2. The 3 beakers are labeled as 0.1g, 1g and 10g. Three concentrations of perchlorate solution are mixed into the 3 beakers. a. 0.1g – 100ml of distilled water is mixed with 0.1gram of perchlorate b. 1g 100ml of distilled water is mixed ..... |
