Do minor wounds (cuts, abrasions) heal faster with or without a bandage?

INCLUDE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING WITH YOUR EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN:

[remember it must be a controlled experiment]

1. A hypothesis: By putting a bandage on a cut it will heal faster than a cut without a bandage.

2. Explain how to set up the experiment:

  • brainstorm a list of all the variables that must be kept constant during the experiment: The size the cut is, the depth of the cut, the bandage is being used, how clean the cut is, health of person, the kind of enviroment they are in, the climate they are in (Hot or Cold)
  • include identification of the independent variable: The cut with a bandage.
  • the dependent variable:
  • identify the control group:
  • identify the experimental group(s):

3. Provide enough details for someone else to set up your experiment
