Experimental Design Principles

Question 9 • FL-2003010-M/J Physical Science

This chart shows the experimental design of four students who are all observing what kind of bird seed birds tend to eat more often.Student 1Student 2Student 3Student 4- Performed the experiment once- Used the same area, same time of day, and same amount of seeds- Repeated the experiment 5 times- Used the same area, different time of day, and different amount of seeds- Repeated the experiment 2 times- Used the same area, different time of day, and different amount of seeds- Repeated the experiment 5 times- Used the same area, same time of day, and same amount of seedsWhich student is the most likely to have reproducible results?

Answer
A
Student 1
B
Student 2
C
Student 3
D
Student 4

Explanation

Reproducible results are more likely when an experiment is repeated and other conditions are kept the same. Student 4 repeated the experiment 5 times while using the same area, time of day, and amount of seeds. Student 2 also repeated it 5 times, but changed the time of day and seed amount, making the results harder to compare reliably.
