The variable that is the "cause"
Those items created by engineers to solve a problem.
The variable that is made different in an experiment
The variable that is kept the same in an experiment
The variable that is measured 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
So that the only thing that is causing the results is the independent variable
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
Design solutions to problems by designing and building technologies
The variable that is the "effect"
Technology
Why we have controlled variables
Scientific Method
Science
Engineering Design Process
Dependent Variable (what's measured or what's made different)
Dependent Variable (cause or effect)
Controlled Variable definition
Independent Variable (cause or effect)
Engineering
Step 2: Research/Generate Concepts
Independent Variable (what's measured or what's made different)
