1.Problem Statement:
What is the effect of drinking different volumes water on the volume of urine released?
2.Aim:
To determine the effect of drinking different volume of water on the volume of urine released.
3.Variables:
Manipulated variable : volume of water intake
Responding variable : volume of urine released
Fixed variable : same student/same environment/ time
4.Hypothesis:
The higher the volume of water intake, the higher the volume of urine released.
5.Materials : Boy/girl/student, water
Apparatus : Beakers, glass/cup/mug, measuring cylinder, stop watch
6.Technique:
Measure and record the volume of urine released (after a fixed hour of consuming water) by using a measuring cylinder.
7.Procedure:
1. | A student (Sample A) is chosen and instructed to empty his bladder before the start of the experiment |
2. | Measure 200ml of water and put it into the mug/cup/glass. |
3 | A student (Sample A) is given 200ml of water to drink. |
4 | A stop watch is started immediately after consuming the water. |
5 | During the experiment, he is kept in (any fixed suitable room) within 2 hours (any suitable time range). |
6 | He is instructed not to eat or perform any vigorous physical activities (within the given time). |
7 | After 2 hour, the stop watch is stopped and he is asked to empty his bladder. |
8 | The volume of urine collected is measured and recorded. |
9 | Steps 2 – 8 is repeated for different amount of water drank (400 ml, 600ml, 800ml). |
12 | The whole experiment is repeated using 2 different students to get a more accurate result. |
13 | Dispose the measured urine properly |
14 | Measure and record data collected into a table. Graph of urine output against the water intake is plotted. |
15 | Precaution : Student is instructed not to eat or perform any vigorous physical activities during the experiment. |
8. Results/ data:
Volume of water intake (ml) | Volume of urine released (ml) | |||
Student A | Student B | Student C | Average | |
200 |
|
|
|
|
400 |
|
|
|
|
600 |
|
|
|
|
800 |
|
|
|
|
9.Conclusion:
The higher the volume of water intake, the higher the volume of urine released. Hypothesis is accepted.
