Variables
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Independent Variable | The variable that is deliberately changed to see what effects it has on the dependant variable |
Dependant Variable | the variable that is measured in an experiment as a consequence of changing the independent variable |
Controlled Variable | Variable that are deliberately kept the same for each trial so they don't interfere with the outcome of the dependant variable |
Fair Test | A test that involves only one variable (independent) to measure the dependant variable and all other variables are controlled so a clear conclusion may be formed |
