Document Summary
Slide 5: correlational experiment helps you that there is a relationship between the shark and the cage, but not exactly how. Slide 7: design experiment to answer question properly. Eye colour is a variable blue, black green etc. , but even among a colour there are various spectrums. Value of a variable: the specific value that a variable can take. In an experiment, you want to have the cause present, but in another trial you take it away, so that you know that the cause is the actual cause of the event. It depends on the value of the independent variable. Ex: the shark and the cage- it seems the metal produces an electrical field that attracts the shark that is so alien that they become aggressive towards the cage. Test- condition where electrical field is present, and in another it"s not. Dependent- sharks aggression; if the electrical field is present, it"s aggressive.
