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