Review: Scientific Inquiry Review

  • independent variable (IV) - factor changed (cambiado) by the scientist (cientifico) 

  • dependent variable (DV) - factor observed and measured (medido) 

  • control - you COMPARE (COMPARAS) the results (resultados) to this variable or group  

  • constants (constantes) - the factors that must stay the same (deben permanecer igual)

Students investigated how visible light is reflected and absorbed by different colors.
For their experiment, they filled four beakers with water. Then they wrapped four breakers with paper; each wrapped in different colored. The students placed the beakers outside on a sunny day.
