Results: A scientist found that lizards that ate fruit flies ran the fastest (10 m/s).  Lizards that ate wax worms ran the slowest (2 m/s).  Lizards that ate crickets ran faster (8 m/s) than those that ate mealworms (6 m/s).    (m/s = meters per second) If you sketched a graph to present the data (results), you would have to include all the components of a good graph.    What would the following components be?   X-Axis Title =  Y-Axis Title =  Graph Title =  Type of Graph =

The following describes a scientific investigation.  Please read the text and the answer the questions that follow.  A research scientist was studying lizards.  The scientist wanted to know if lizards would run faster or slower depending on the types of insects that they ate.  All the lizards would be the same species.  Each group of lizards received only one species of insect for all their meals.  The insects would be: crickets, mealworms, wax worms, and fruit flies.  The lizards would be fed in their housing, not while racing because you don’t want them to get sick.  The scientist made a lizard-sized racetrack which included little infrared light beams connected to a computer.  When the lizards ran down the track a computer would record their times when they went through the lights.   A. Which is the dependent variable? B. Which is the independent (experimental) variable in this study?
