A ___________________________ is a preliminary model that can be easily adjusted.
Prototype
What is the purpose of having a control in an experiment?
The purpose of having a control in an experiment is to give you something to compare your results to. A control stays the same, so you can see if the changes in your experiment are really because of what you’re testing or just something else. By having a control, you can make sure your experiment is fair and that the results are accurate.
When presenting data in a table, what format is typically used?
Rows and columns
