What is an independent variable?

Back

An independent variable is the factor in an experiment that is deliberately changed or manipulated to observe its effect on the dependent variable.

What is a dependent variable?

Back

A dependent variable is the factor that is measured or observed in an experiment, which is affected by changes in the independent variable.

Why is it important to have only one independent variable in an experiment?

Back

It is important to have only one independent variable to clearly establish cause-and-effect relationships.

Front

What is a hypothesis?

Back

A hypothesis is a testable prediction about the relationship between two or more variables.

Front

What is the purpose of a control group in an experiment?

Back

A control group is used as a benchmark to compare the results of the experimental group, helping to isolate the effects of the independent variable.

Front

What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative data?

Back

Qualitative data describes characteristics or qualities (e.g., color, texture), while quantitative data involves numerical measurements (e.g., height, weight).

Front

What is a conclusion in the context of the scientific method?

Back

A conclusion is a summary of the results of an experiment, indicating whether the hypothesis was supported or refuted.

Front

What is the importance of repeating experiments?

Back

Repeating experiments is crucial for verifying results and ensuring reliability and accuracy in scientific findings.

Front

What is an experiment?

Back

An experiment is a structured procedure carried out to investigate a hypothesis by manipulating variables and observing the outcomes.
