Independent Variable
a variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does not depend on that of another. It is the one variable that is changed by the experimenter.
a variable (often denoted by y ) whose value depends on that of another. It is the variable that is often measured by the experimenter.
an experiment where the scientist only changes 1 variable at a time and everything else is kept the same.
a group of subjects in an experiment that has no variables changed in it. This allows for a comparison between nothing changing and the independent variable changing.
Dependent Variable
a variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does not depend on that of another. It is the one variable that is changed by the experimenter.
a variable (often denoted by y ) whose value depends on that of another. It is the variable that is often measured by the experimenter.
an experiment where the scientist only changes 1 variable at a time and everything else is kept the same.
a group of subjects in an experiment that has no variables changed in it. This allows for a comparison between nothing changing and the independent variable changing.
Controlled Experiment
a variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does not depend on that of another. It is the one variable that is changed by the experimenter.
a variable (often denoted by y ) whose value depends on that of another. It is the variable that is often measured by the experimenter.
an experiment where the scientist only changes 1 variable at a time and everything else is kept the same.
a group of subjects in an experiment that has no variables changed in it. This allows for a comparison between nothing changing and the independent variable changing.
Control Group
a variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does not depend on that of another. It is the one variable that is changed by the experimenter.

Bar Graph
a special chart that uses pie slices to show relative sizes of data based on percentages.
a type of chart used to show information that changes over time. Line graphs use several points connected by straight lines.
a diagram in which the numerical values of variables are represented by the height or length of lines or rectangles of equal width.
A graph of plotted points that show the relationship between two sets of data

Qualitative
a variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does not depend on that of another. It is the one variable that is changed by the experimenter.
a variable (often denoted by y ) whose value depends on that of another. It is the variable that is often measured by the experimenter.
relating to, measuring, or measured by the quantity of something and is expressed as a number.
relating to, measuring, or measured by the quality of something using our five senses and is not expressed as a number.
Quantitative
a variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does not depend on that of another. It is the one variable that is changed by the experimenter.
a variable (often denoted by y ) whose value depends on that of another. It is the variable that is often measured by the experimenter.
