• Controlled experiment

• Constant variable

• Constant experiment

• Control group

This is a process that provides a logical approach to problem solving.

• The scientific method

• Testable question

• Hypothesis

• Controlled expirement

This is the group that is left alone and shows what would normally happen if no experiment was done at all.

• Controlled Variables

• Independent Variable

• Dependent Variable

• Control Group

A question that can be answered with an experiment.

• testable question

• observable question

• hypothetical question

• experimental question

This is the aspects of the experiment that are kept exactly the same throughout the experiment.

• Controlled variables

• Independent variables

• Dependent variables

• Control group

This is when only one variable is changed at a time, a large enough sample is tested, and multiple trials are performed.

• Fair test
