3 plants: 1 in front of a window, 2 behind a curtain. 1 gets H2O, 1 OJ, 1 7up. Height measured.

Height measured is the dependent variable.

Best description of an introduction:

contains background information

Best description of an abstract:

3 plants: 1 in front of a window, 2 behind a curtain sometimes. Given H20, OJ, 7up. Ht measured

All of the other answers are correct

What is a goal of research design?

obtain answers to research questions

All are true of the scientific method EXCEPT:

it must be followed in order, every time

3 plants: 1 in front of a window, 2 behind a curtain. 1 gets H2O, 1 OJ, 1 7up. Height measured.

The plant that gets H2O is the control

3 plants: 1 in front of a window, 2 behind a curtain. 1 gets H2O, 1 OJ, 1 7up. Height measured.

Liquid that plant receives is the independent variable.

If external validity of a study is being questioned, what may be true of the study?

The conclusions are not supported by the results.
