(HELP PLZ)

Procedure:

The procedures are listed in your virtual lab. You do not need to repeat them here. Please be sure to identify the test variable (independent variable), outcome variable (dependent variable).

Reminder: Test variable = the item you are changing or manipulating; Outcome variable = the item you are measuring

Test variable (independent variable):

Outcome variable (dependent variable):
