Questions and Answers

What does the independent variable represent in an experiment?

  • The variable that the scientist manipulates (correct)
  • The condition that changes in response to treatment
  • The factor that remains constant throughout the experiment
  • The measurement taken after conducting the experiment
  • Which step of the scientific method involves drawing conclusions based on data?

  • Ask a question
  • Conduct experiments
  • Hypothesis
  • Analysis (correct)
  • What is the purpose of having a control group in an experiment?

  • To collect a larger sample size
  • To ensure the independent variable varies
  • To provide a standard for comparison (correct)

    Study Notes

    Lab Safety

    • Know the general rules

    Scientific Method and Experimental Design

    • Ask a question
    • Do background research
    • Make a hypothesis
    • Conduct experiments
    • Analysis
    • Conclusion

    Importance/Steps

    • The outline of an experiment
      • Hypothesis
        • Prediction before the experiment
      • Independent variable vs Dependent Variable
        • The independent variable is what the scientist changes (x-axis)
        • The dependent variable is what responds to the independent variable (y-axis)
      • Control vs Experimental
        • Control group is the one that does not receive the treatment (used as a comparison)
        • Experimental group receives the treatment
    • How to improve experiments
      • Increase sample size
      • Strategy of measuring/keeping track
      • Control and Experimental group present
      • Peer review
      • Repeat experiment
    • Basic Measurement
      • Ruler measurement
