Scientific Method
The process of experimentation

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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.

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