Research plan for seneca lake

The research question that I will answer regarding sceneca lake would be how the weather can affect the areas surrounding sceneca lake.

Controlled variables:time,type of season
Independent variables:typy of weather,when they appear
Relevant variables: take data over a year,see the reaction of the lake,measure the temperature, measure wind speeds.
ot the area surrounding sceneca lake that area will be effected by the lake effect.when this weather is happening it can cause lots of snow to fall on the ground over time. To add with the affect that snows falls,it would be difficult to drive in the weather becaue you could barely see in front of you that much and the roads would be covered.finnal thoughts are the worst part is that you could die from either hyperthermia or under so much snow.

For what I think I could find out from my question would be that the weather from the lake can affect in many ways with its surrounding areas by sending snow as stated in the background information.


What I plan to control the control variable by keeping track of time either by watch or by callender.then go to the lake with a notepad to recored data.


1.start in collect data in janurary
2.go to the lake everyday to see anything about the weather
3.have equipment to tell more information about the weather in the surrounding areas
4.repeat the process at the end of December.
5.once done put the data together to answer my question.

The one question I have the upcoming trip would be what will be the difference between the 3 samples taken from sceneca lake.
