Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hi
I just want to make sure that my variables make sense for Solar Speedway.

Controlled Variable (Constant) - Length of race way
Dependent Variable - average speed of solar car each race
Independent Variable - Time of day (angle of the sun)

Thank you

Hello and welcome to the forums:

Your ideas sound good. I might switch around the way you describe the independent variable, but your way is fine.

Best, Keith

Thank you Keith. After looking at it again I do agree with you about switching independent variable around since the main focus is on the angle of the sun

Thank you
