Publish

20. Define an independent variable.
The variable that CAN be controlled by the experimenter

21. What two words are necessary when we write our hypothesis?
If, Then

22. How many variables should there be in an experiment to make it valid?
ONE

23. How do we word the problem?
In the form of a question that can be solved through experimentation.

24. Define the dependent variable.
The variable that is DIRECTLY affected by the independent variable. It is the result of what happens because of the independent variable.

25. What is the difference between a control group and constants?
Control group is exposed to the same conditions as the experimental group, EXCEPT for the variable being tested.
The Constants are all the factors that the experimenter attempts to keep the same.

26. What step comes after the problem?
Research: Make observations and research your topic of interest

27. “If soil temperatures rise, then plant growth will increase” is an example of what?
Hypothesis

28. Should a materials list be included in the procedure?
YES!!!

29. How many oxygen bubbles are produced by a plant located five meters below the surface of the water? State the DEPENDENT variable.
The number of oxygen bubbles produced.

30. Is a control group necessary for experiments? Why or Why not?
Yes, it serves as the standard of comparison.

31. When graphing the independent variable is placed on the X or Y axis?
X axis (horizontal)

32. True or False: The conclusion section of the Scientific Method needs to include a statement that accepts or rejects the hypothesis and explain why.
TRUE

33. True or False: Publish is a step of the Scientific Method.
TRUE, it’s the last one.

34. True or False: The variable is the part that is being tested.

35. In an experiment is it better to test a larger or a small group?
Larger = better results.
