NGSS.MS-PS2-2

Sample that is treated like other experimental groups except that the independent variable is not applied to it

• Experimental group

• Constant

• Independent Variable

• Controlled

NGSS.MS-PS2-2

A type of design testing that is repeated many times as part of the engineering design process; the results of each repetition are used to modify the next version of the product or tool

• Sample testing

• Iterative testing

• Convoluted testing
