Students can often name an extraneous variable — but can they explain exactly how it could affect the DV and how it should be controlled?
This interactive card activity helps students move beyond vague, generic answers and develop the specific, applied explanations needed for Research Methods.
Using a range of short research scenarios, students work through three key questions:
SPOT IT – Identify a specific extraneous variable.
SO WHAT? – Explain exactly how it could influence the DV.
CONTROL IT – Devise a practical way the researcher could control it.
Challenge cards add an extra layer of peer questioning, encouraging students to call out answers that are “Too vague!”, ask “So what?”, or challenge another team to “Control it!”.
Perfect for introducing extraneous variables, building application skills or revisiting Research Methods during revision.
Includes:
20 research scenario cards • 9 challenge cards • Teacher instructions
DIGITAL DOWNLOAD.
