Chapter 1 Quiz 1 Vocabulary Review

Control Variable

• Group in an experiment that is exposed to the same conditions asth experimental group except for one independent variable. The parts of the experiment that stay the same.
• Information gathered from observations, evidence
• Variable that is observed and that changes in response to the independent variable; also called the responding variable. The thing the scientist measures.
• Possible explanation for a set of observations or possible answer to scientific question. An educated guess.

Data
