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