Back

A control is used as a standard for comparison to see how the independent variable affects the dependent variable.

Front

What is the role of a hypothesis in an experiment?

Back

A hypothesis is a testable prediction about the relationship between the independent and dependent variables.

Front

How can you ensure accurate measurements in an experiment?

Back

By using precise instruments and following consistent procedures.

Front

What is the significance of repeating experiments?

Back

Repeating experiments helps to verify results and ensure reliability.

Front

What is the scientific method?
