Matching Pairs Matching - VariablesOnline version matching columns by Benjamin D Morgan 1 The variable that is kept the same in an experiment 2 The variable that is measured in an experiment 3 The variable that is the "effect" 4 Learning science concepts surrounding an engineering problem through reading, watching videos, lectures, or by performing experiments 5 Ask questions about the natural world and trying to answer those questions 6 Design solutions to problems by designing and building technologies 7 Those items created by engineers to solve a problem. 8 The variable that is the "cause" 9 The variable that is made different in an experiment 10 So that the only thing that is causing the results is the independent variable 11 The steps used by engineers to answer a question and create a solution by making/innovating a technology 12 The steps used in science to answer a question through experimentation Controlled Variable definition Dependent Variable (what's measured or what's made different) Scientific Method Science Engineering Technology Engineering Design Process Independent Variable (what's measured or what's made different) Step 2: Research/Generate Concepts Why we have controlled variables Independent Variable (cause or effect) Dependent Variable (cause or effect)
