• repeptition

• replication

The factor you measure based on how it

responds to the independent variable. The variable that is measured.

• independent variable

• dependent variable

explanation or prediction about what might happen in the experiment.

• Write a testable question

• Identify the problem

• Write a conclusion

• Create a Hypothesis

exactly the same each time during an experiment.
