To convince others that the conclusions are valid
to accurately analyze patterns in the observation afterwards
All of these
to determine whether the experiment is repeatable
4
An astronaut on the space station wants to test whether gravity affects tomato plants. What is the independent variable?
The force of gravity on Earth
The productivity of a similar tomato plant grown on Earth
The productivity of each tomato plant grown in space
The force of gravity affecting the plants in space
5
Which of the following considerations is most important when a scientist develops an experiment?
Only one person should do all parts of the experiment
The experiment is repeatable by other scientists
the experiment should include the most advanced instruments
The experiment should take the opinions of top scientists into account
6
Why is it important to carefully analyze the data gathered during an investigation?
To avoid making an error about the validity of the hypothesis
to reveal patterns that will support or reject the hypothesis
All of these
To convince other scientists that the conclusion is valid
7
What is a control in a scientific experiment?
