A testable prediction about the outcome of an experimentation is called

• Hypothesis

• Variable

• Analysis

• Conclusion

Which variable is changed on purpose by the scientist?

• Manipulated/Independent Variable

• Responding/Depending Variable

• Constant/Controlled Variable

• Hypothesis

Which variable is changed in response to another variable and then measured/observed by the scientist?

• Manipulated/Independent Variable

• Responding/Depending Variable

• Constant/Controlled Variable

• Hypothesis

Which variable should always be the same during the entire experiment by the scientist?

• Manipulated/Independent Variable

• Responding/Depending Variable

• Constant/Controlled Variable

• Hypothesis

To make sure the results of an experiment are valid, the scientist

• must change all the variable at once

• must check the internet

• must repeat the experiment many times

• must only get data that supports their supports their hypothesis
