Form 2: Dependent Variables in Physics Experiments
In this engaging exercise, students will explore the concept of dependent variables by designing and conducting their own physics experiments, analyzing how changes in independent variables impact measurable outcomes. Through hands-on activities and critical thinking, learners will deepen their understanding of experimental design while honing their scientific inquiry skills.
