7th/8th Grade Science:  Today in science we reviewed what a variable is and how they can affect the outcome of an experiment.  We then introduced and defined the terms independent variable and dependent variable. Students learned how to identify these variables and use them in an If/Then format for a hypothesis statement.  We concluded class by completing the same lab as Friday, but with major revisions to make the results more scientifically valid. 
Homework: none
