An independent variable is

compared to the experimental results, something that is changed or manipulated

How do experiments help scientist learn.

It helps them answer questions about the world

A variable can be controlled when:

You compare a normal group to a group you are testing on.

A controled experiment...

only tests one independent variable

data that supports your findings

The dependent variable is

what is measured and recorded as data

gather evidence
create a conclusion
13

as data
for multiple trials
to compare a variable to
as a conclusion
14

only tests one independent variable
Ussually only includes one trial
tests multiple variables
does not add any variables to the tests
