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