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