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