variables in need of control

the variables that i needed to control to make this a fair investigation were:

  • where i collected the samples from. if i hadn't set out places on the grassy area and in the plant rich car park area, the test would not have been fair.
  • i needed to also control where i got the water samples from. this is why i constantly had photos of maps, so i knew where i tested firstly so i could test around that area once again
  • the thing i tried to change was when i got the samples and although this didn't make a huge difference in all aspects of the tests, it did affect the pollution level observations
