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