Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.10 Design a Fair Test Checklist skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A student tests whether the order of tasks affects how well people remember a list (reading first vs. drawing first). Doing the same order for everyone may cause an ‘order effect.’

Which procedure best controls order effects?

ALet participants choose the order they prefer.

BGive more time to the harder task so everyone feels successful.

CUse counterbalancing: half the participants do reading then drawing, and half do drawing then reading, keeping time and instructions the same for all.

DHave all participants do reading then drawing so it is consistent.

Solution & Explanation:Counterbalancing controls for practice or fatigue that can happen just because of order, so differences are linked to the task order rather than time-related effects.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A student compares two camera lenses for image clarity but uses different lighting for each.

Which procedure best controls variables and gives an objective measure?

APhotograph different objects for each lens to show their strengths.

BUse auto settings so the camera can decide what is best for each lens.

CPhotograph the same resolution chart from the same distance with the same camera settings and lighting, switching only the lens, and compare the smallest readable line pattern.

DJudge clarity by whichever photo looks nicer on the screen.

Solution & Explanation:Using the same target, settings, and lighting controls variables. A resolution chart provides an operational, measurable definition of clarity.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A team compares parachute materials, but wind outside changes throughout the hour.

Which method best controls this variable while still using outdoor tests?

AIgnore wind because it affects all materials equally.

BRandomize the order of materials across trials, take many trials, and include wind-speed measurements so results can be averaged or compared under similar wind ranges.

CTest the best-looking material first and the rest later.

DTest each material only once so wind can’t change much.

Solution & Explanation:Randomizing order and measuring wind reduce systematic bias from changing conditions; many trials help reliability and allow fairer comparisons.
