Unit 1: A student conducted an investigation to determine the effect of water temperature on the amount of sugar that dissolves in a beaker of water. Identify components of trial 1 of this investigation as either Variable or Constant.

• Variable= amount of water, Temp of Sugar.

  Constant= Temp of Water, Amount of Sugar Dissolved

• Variable= amount of Sugar dissolved, Temp of Sugar.

  Constant= Temp of Water, Amount of Sugar Dissolved

• Constant= Amount of Water, Temp of Sugar

  Variable= Temp of Water, Amount of Dissolved Sugar
