The controlled variable is? 15 Evidence 16 Claim Includes most of Earth, including part of the oceans and the atmosphere with living organisms. The physical area where a species lives. A group of organisms that are all the same species. Includes the living organisms (all the populations) in an area and the non-living aspects of the environment All the non-living things in an ecosystem, such as temperature, sunlight, and precipitation. Observations of the environment/situation AND/OR the data (observations) collected during experiment A single individual from a species. All the living things in an ecosystem, such as plants and animals. The size of the ecosystem under study Population of Bacteria Number of bacteria organisms living in the area A group of similar organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring. The role a species plays in the ecosystem. Two or more populations of different species that live in the same area and interact with one another.
