Only 1 variable can be changed in any experiment, Otherwise you do no know what is causing the effects. The manipulated variable in the Snake River Study is the river testing site. Some controls in the Snake River Study are the pH test, the zinc test, the biodiversity test, the dissolved oxygen test, and the copper test.

7. Friday, September 28, 2012 1.What are steps 4A and 4B in the scientific process? 2. How was data collected in the Snake River Lab? 3. How is data being analyzed in the Snake River Lab? Step 4A of the scientific process is taking observations and collecting data and step 4B is analyzing data. Data was collected during a field trip to the Snake River Basin and five trials were completed of each test Data is being analyzed by rating each test site for the health of the river and by comparing data between the various testing sites.
