Two students design an experiment to see if pushing or pulling is more effective. They set up a 10 foot course. The first student pushes a heavy book down the course and the other times how long it takes. The students then switch roles and the second student
pulls the box back along the same course as the first student times. They repeat this 5 times. Describe the quality of the design of
this experiment.
A)
This is a well designed experiment.
B)
This is not well designed because 10 feet is too long.
C)
This is not well designed because they should not switch roles.
D)
This is not well designed because they should repeat it 5 times.
