Factors that may affect the experiment are: * The thickness of the band. * The length of the band. * The amount of weights added to the rubber band. * The temperature of the band and the room. In this experiment I will use the number of weights as my variable. Therefore, so that this is the only factor that affects my experiment, I will use the same elastic band each time to ensure that the thickness and length of the band will remain the same throughout my experiments. I will make sure that the room temperature is the same each time I do an experiment my using a thermometer to check the temperature. This should not be too much of a problem however,...
