Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

In an experiment there should be variables; I can't find them... can someone please help me to find the independent and dependent variables. AHHHH! i can't find any variables... I really don't think there are any:( this is bad!

Hi,

Can you please elaborate on what you are trying to do or study? What type of cancer are you looking at?

Here is our Science Buddies page about variables: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... bles.shtml

Cancer has a number of variables...environmental, DNA damage, etc.

I suggest that you first begin by researching the topic (its a big topic!) and continue narrowing down your ideas to construct a hypothesis.

Here are some sites to help you:

Take Care!

To assist Experts that may see your question, here is the url for the project: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p011.shtml

How are you doing on isolating your variables? If you have continued questions, please let us know.
