The Impact of Sunlight on Plant Growth and Variable Relationships

The video tutorial explains the concepts of independent, dependent, and controlled variables in scientific experiments. It uses the example of sunlight affecting plant growth to illustrate these concepts. The independent variable is the factor changed by the experimenter, while the dependent variable is the observed effect. Controlled variables remain constant to ensure accurate results. The video also discusses experimental and controlled setups, emphasizing the importance of observing changes in dependent variables due to independent variables. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the relationships and roles of these variables in experiments.

What is the main question being tested in the experiment discussed in the video?

• Does temperature affect plant growth?

• Does soil type affect plant growth?

• Does sunlight affect plant growth?

• Does water affect plant growth?

Which variable is considered the cause in the cause and effect relationship discussed?

• Watering schedule

• Soil type

• Plant growth

• Sunlight

What is the role of controlled variables in an experiment?

• To be the main focus of the experiment

• To change the outcome of the experiment

• To be ignored during the experiment

• To ensure the experiment is fair and accurate

What is the purpose of using the same species of plant in both setups?

• To test different plant species

• To maintain consistency and accuracy

• To make the experiment more interesting

• To ensure the plant grows faster

In the experimental setup, what is the independent variable?

• Sunlight

• Type of plant

• Amount of water

• Type of soil

Which setup includes the independent variable?

• Controlled setup

• Experimental setup

• Both setups

• Neither setup

What is the main difference between the experimental and controlled setups?

• Type of plant used

• Amount of water given

• Presence of sunlight

• Type of soil used

What happens to the plant in the controlled setup without sunlight?

• It grows bigger

• It remains the same

• It dies

• It changes color

What is the dependent variable in the experiment?

• Plant growth

• Amount of water

• Sunlight

• Type of soil

What conclusion can be drawn from the experiment results?

• Plant growth is independent of sunlight

• Sunlight affects the type of soil

• Plant growth depends on sunlight

• Sunlight has no effect on plant growth
