Variables Represented in Science Modeling
Independent Variable (IV)-- This is what you change in a science investigation.
Dependent Variable (DV)-- This is what you are measuring in a science investigation.
What should my science model have?
What should my science model have?
You should ask yourself:
Does my model have a(n)…?
Does my model need a(n)…?
Title
Caption (Caption should identify independent and dependent variables. Caption needs explanation between independent and dependent variables.)

Arrows showing movement
Steps through time
Labeled X axis (independent variable goes here)
Labeled Y axis (dependent variable goes here)
A line of best fit or trend line (y = mx +b)
Not all models will require all of the above aspects.
All science models:
Represent real objects
Are based on objective, logical reasoning
Are supported by data and observations
You should ask yourself: Did I revise my scientific model after my teacher provided feedback?
