The VARIABLES Song – Mr. Edmonds – Rock with the Jackson 5 “I’ll Be There” music theme !

VARIABLES are tough to learn ! This song was written to the tune "I'll Be There" which was recorded by the Jackson 5. It will help students to know the difference between the INDEPENDENT VARIABLE, THE DEPENDENT VARIABLE, AND CONSTANTS in a scientific experiment. It also helps students to organize a data table after knowing the variables. Hopefully this will be a help to Science Fair students as well! Words can be found in the DOCS section on teacher tube for dsecms. OR BELOW: The Variables Song Lyrics by Doug Edmonds (to the tune of "I'll Be There" by Berry Gordy, Hal Davis, Willie Hutch, and Bob West) In a science experiment, there are things called variables, Each has a func-tion. Learn them well. The indepen-dent variable, is that thing you test or change, In every experiment, there's only ONE ! Now -- the -- de-pen-dent variable, Is the thing that you measure in response to what you change. It doesn't have to be just one thing, It all depends on what the outcome is in response to what you change. And in your da-ta table, The first column's where you put, The indepen-dent variable. The other col-umns are reserved, for the de-pendent variable. YOU CAN HAVE many tri-als.. TO TEST what you've changed. AND WHAT ABOUT THE THINGS you keep the same? They are called something dif-ferent; they are CONSTANTS, that's the name. They're controlled so you're certain That the outcomes that you measure, ARE IN response to what you change. The indepen-dent variable, is the thing you ...

I’m in 7th grade, and my teacher showed us this today. XD
Then, we actually started singing along, and when Mr. DeRita (our science teacher) started singing, my friend Tobi was like, “OH MY GOD, YOU CAN SING?”
XD Best. Day. Ever.

Mr. Edmond THANKS!! My teacher puts this on every morning! and i have the words memorized and its been 5 weeks already!!!!!!! At first everyone thought it was tacky i did to. But then kids started to sing along and it became a blast!!!!! It really helps cause every friday we take a science assessment about fining the dependent , independent variables and the constants . THANKS A LOT!

You are not alone! This song helped me at 68 to understand where I was totally at sea with GM5333, I found an old statistics and realised these were my old friends whose name was changed. I did the same when I got married and now I am looking over the entire course, renewing my previous knowlege of the concepts.
The rules never change, just the names.
