Lab Test 1. Summarize in a well organized paragraph your
findings from this investigation. Did this investigation support your hypothesis?
2. Use your lab notes to complete the following table. Be specific (eg. pH 3, T=27oC,..).
Constant(s) Independent Variable(s)
Dependent Variable(s)
3. What was the control in this experiment? Why is it considered a control?
4. What was the most difficult part of this lab. How did you deal with this problem?
5. What did you specifically learn from your background research? How did this help in your investigation?
