The process of experimentation Scientific Method The process of experimentation

Do Background Research Ask a Question Do Background Research Construct Hypothesis Test with an Experiment Analyze Results then draw a conclusion Compare results with hypothesis Report Results

Types of Variables Controlled Variable – the variable that stays the same Manipulated Variable (independent variable) – the factor that is changed Responding Variable (dependent variable) – the factor that changes as a result

What is a fair test? A fair test is an experiment where there is ONLY ONE independent variable (only one thing changes) and all other factors stay the same In a fair test, there is a control group, where the independent variable is not changed yet.

For the following scenario, identify the control group, independent variable, and dependent variable. How could this experiment be improved?
