Procedures are a step-by-step sequence describing how to complete an experiment.

Procedures describe what needs to be done to complete the experiment, including:

How the independent variable (IV) will be changed (CG & EG)

How the dependent variable (DV) will be measured

How all other variables will be maintained at a constant value (CV)

Plant Experiment Example:

1. Set up three pots, each containing 150 g of Brand X soil.

2. Plant 5 bean seeds in each pot. 3. Water each pot with 100 mL of tap water. 4. Add no fertilizer to Pot #1, add 5 g of Fancy

brand fertilizer to Pot #2 and 10 g of fertilizer to Pot #3.

5. Measure (in cm) the height of each plant once a week for a total of 6 weeks.

In this procedure:

1. Steps 1-3 show what is the same for each test. (Constants)

2. Step 4 tells what is different for each test (Testing Groups)

3. Step 5 identifies what result will be measured. (Results)

Make My Picture

1. Get the colors blue, green and yellow2. Then color blue the 8 middle triangles3. Color green the 6 triangles that share a line

with the blue triangles4. Finally, you color the rest of the triangles

yellow

Make your Picture• Using the procedure rules write directions for

coloring either your or your table mate’s picture. • Work together to make them as detailed as

possible• We will switch procedures with someone else in

the room and they will have to make your picture• When you are finished coloring, compare the

original your and leave feedback for the team writing the procedures (both + and - )

Legos• Gather blocks into two bags the same color

– must have no more than 10 blocks in each bag– the blocks in both bags must be the same

• Build something• Write procedures for building your masterpiece • cover masterpiece with cloth, leaving the other

bag and your procedures behind• switch with someone else who is finished• When finished building compare your product to

theirs and provide feedback on their directions
