So I need to know what the answers are:
I'm kinda sure of what the answers could be but I need some verification
• Question- Does running in the rain get you less wet than walking?
• Identify the independent and dependent variable in the experiment.
o Dependent variable:
o Independent variable:
• Identify the control group and the experimental group.
o Control group:
o Experimental group:
• Write a testable prediction for this test.
o Prediction:
• Write a clear step by step method explaining how you could test this experiment. Be certain you are only measuring whether running or walking changes how wet you get.
o Method:

o Method:
-
The dependent variable: If you get wet or not.
The independent variable: If you walk or run.
Control group: Individuals not exposed to the independent variable. So they dont have to walk and run. These people are the control subjects.
Experiment group: Individuals who are exposed to the independent variable. So they do have to walk and run. These people are the test subjects.
EDIT: YOU SHOULD also note that unless you do this experiment all at the same time, the results could change - Depending on how heavy the rain is etc. So this is a really hard experiment to carry out.
Well a prediction: You could write a hypothesis stating that - Running in the rain gets you less wet than if you are walking. So you are predicting that if you run in the rain rather than walk you will get less wet.
And as for a method: You would first get a control group and experimental group! The control group will be testing the experimental group whether running in the rain will get you less wet than walking. So you could split the experiment group up into two groups - One will walk in the rain - The other will run in the rain. You should set a certain time they stay in the rain - lets say 1-2 minutes. Now the experimental group should wear a certain type of clothing. THEY could either wear the same top. Or another Idea is they could wear full bodied skins. So after they have been out in the rain you can rinse the top into flask and see how wet the clothing is. And it would be best to repeat this experiment plenty of times, so the outcome is more reliable.
The independent variable: If you walk or run.
