Study Notes
Parts of an Experiment
- Independent Variable: The factor being manipulated or tested in an experiment, crucial for establishing cause-and-effect relationships.
- Dependent Variable: The measured factor that responds to changes in the independent variable, providing the data necessary for analysis.
- Control Group: Serves as a baseline for comparison within an experiment; this group does not receive the independent variable, helping to determine the effect of the variable.
- Experimental Group: Groups that are exposed to the independent variable, allowing researchers to observe the effects of changes.
- Constants: Factors that remain unchanged throughout the experiment, ensuring valid comparisons between experimental and control groups.
