Does the size of an aquarium determine how large the fish will grow?


 * INCLUDE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING WITH YOUR EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: **


 * [remember it must be a controlled experiment] **


 * 1. A hypothesis: ** That an aquarium does determine how large a fish will grow.


 * 2. Explain how to set up the experiment: ** You will take 20 fish and put 10 in an aquarium which is Group A and then put 10 other fish which is Group B in a pond or open water source. Then record how much they grown in a certain amount of time in a chart.


 * ** brainstorm a list of all the variables that must be kept constant during the experimen ** t: Same type of water, Same kind of fish, Same kind of food, Same amount of light and water.
 * ** include identification of the independent variable: ** The aquarium.
 * ** the dependent variable: ** The size of the fish in the aquarium.
 * ** identify the control group: ** Is the 10 fish in Group B that are not being placed in the aquarium.
 * ** identify the experimental group(s): ** Group A that is placed in the aquarium.


 * 3. Provide enough details for someone else to set up your experiment: ** You will take 20 fish and put 10 in an aquarium which is Group A and then put 10 other fish which is Group B in a pond or open water source. Then record how much they grown in a certain amount of time in a chart. Then over a course of time you will record you results. When doing this experiment you should feed them 1 cup of food everyday and just pore it into the tank or pond. At the end of each day measure the fish to see how much they have grown. Also when doing this make sure you have a light over them untill night time then take the light of and leave them. Also make sure the water levels are the same if they aren't add the amount of water needed to the aquarium or pond that need it make sure it's the same water that you have been using.
