Re: Variables
Hi jnayordy,
Great question! Make sure you read the project guide here, specifically the variable section: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... ndex.shtml
Variables are the attributes of the experiment that you change while conducting the fair test. For the question, "do warmer seas make stronger hurricanes?", what experiment are you doing to answer the question? When you do the experiment and make changes to one part, what would you change? Perhaps the temperature of the water used?
Let me know what further questions you have.
