Experimental Design

Front

What are the things that are kept the same in an experiment?

Back

Constants are the factors that remain unchanged throughout the experiment to ensure that the results are valid.

Front

What are the parts of the experiment that must be kept the same?

Back

Constants are the elements that must not change during the experiment.

Front

In the statement 'If I water the plant more often, then it will grow taller,' what is the dependent variable?

Back

The height of the plant is the dependent variable, as it is the outcome being measured.

Front

What is the factor that an experimenter changes on purpose?

Back

The Independent Variable is the factor that is intentionally altered to observe its effect.

Front

What type of assessment is 'Jeff is 6 feet 2 inches'?

Back

Quantitative assessment, as it involves numerical measurement.

Front

What is an Independent Variable?

Back

An Independent Variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment.

Front

What is a Dependent Variable?

Back

A Dependent Variable is the variable that is measured and affected in the experiment.

Front

What are controls in an experiment?

Back

Controls are the standard against which the results of an experiment are compared.

Front

What is the purpose of constants in an experiment?

Back

Constants ensure that the experiment is fair and that the results are due to the independent variable.

Front

What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative data?

Back

Qualitative data describes characteristics or qualities, while quantitative data involves numerical measurements.
