Spaghetti+lab


 * Purpose**: To find the relationship between the number of strands and the amount of unit masses. (What is the strength of spaghetti as material for bridges?)


 * Graph** - Relationship between strands and mass. Take snapshot of graph to turn in on Google Classroom.


 * Calculations** - Show calculation for slope of line. (Ex: Slope = (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1).

1. What are the independent and dependent variables for this experiment?
 * Questions** -

2. What are the controls of the experiment?

3. What are the units of the slope? What does the slope signify in this experiment?

4. What are the units of the y-intercept? What does the y-intercept signify in this experiment?


 * Conclusion ** - (Handwrite ** or ** type/turn in on Google Classroom)

Before you start, write-out the whole formula for your graph: Y-variabile = (slope & units) X-variable + (Y-intercept & unit)

Write a one paragraph conclusion that includes purpose, claims (relationships and formulas), evidence to support/explain stated claims (include what the slope and the y-intercept mean) and error analysis.

DO NOT TALK ABOUT PROCEDURE in your conclusion. -
