Flashcards: Variables

So that the only thing that is causing the results is the independent variable

Ask questions about the natural world and trying to answer those questions

The variable that is measured in an experiment

Those items created by engineers to solve a problem.

The variable that is made different in an experiment

The variable that is the "cause"

The variable that is kept the same in an experiment

The steps used in science to answer a question through experimentation

The steps used by engineers to answer a question and create a solution by making/innovating a technology

Learning science concepts surrounding an engineering problem through reading, watching videos, lectures, or by performing experiments

Design solutions to problems by designing and building technologies

The variable that is the "effect"

Science

Why we have controlled variables

Independent Variable (cause or effect)

Dependent Variable (what's measured or what's made different)

Dependent Variable (cause or effect)

Step 2: Research/Generate Concepts

Independent Variable (what's measured or what's made different)

Engineering
