Hello,

This sounds like a fun project! Here is a good resource describing Dependent and Independent Variables with some examples that might be helpful: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... /variables

Let us know if this doesn't clear things up for you.

How does the experiment relate to situations outside the lab?
What are the implications for further study?

Hello,

Potential and kinetic energy are all around us! I suggest reviewing some of the links in the Biblography section of this project guide for examples of potential and kinetic energy outside the lab.
