Independent and Dependent Variables Interactive Notebook Pages and PowerPoint

This independent variable and dependent variable resource contains interactive notebook pages and a PowerPoint for your middle school scientific method unit.

There are two different interactive science notebook pages.

• The first page is used to introduce independent and dependent variables and how to tell them apart. It contains a note-taking outline for students to fill in with the teacher.
• The second page is a card sorting activity that gives students practice identifying variables from scientific questions.
• An answer key is included.
• The interactive notebook pages are in PDF form and are not editable.

The PowerPoint is designed so it can be used with or without the interactive notebook pages. The PowerPoint is 100% editable. It is a no-frills kind of PowerPoint that teachers can change to fit the needs of their students. The PowerPoint is 16 slides long.

Please click on PREVIEW to see a completed set of the interactive notebook pages and six of the PowerPoint slides.

This resource is also available at a discount as part of the Scientific Method Interactive Notebook Bundled PACKAGE, which comes with INB pages for nine different topics of the scientific method.
