The variable that you observe or measure during an experiment that may change as a result of what you did in the experiment.
What is a DEPENDENT VARIABLE?
300
what is the final step in the scientific method
communicate your results
300
The step of the scientific method where you make graphs, look for patterns, and think about what happened.
What is the ANALYSIS?
300
Do changes in temperature affect how something tastes? what is the control group?
the normal or regular taste of what you are using in your experiment.
400
the factors that DO NOT CHANGE in an experiment
What are CONSTANTS?
400
when an experiment is finished, what should you do with the data and observations you collected? why?
analyze the data to determine if your hypothesis is proven or disproven.
400
when you are doing error analysis, what are you thinking about?
were there any mistakes in my experiment that led to inaccurate data
400

What is the difference between precision and accuracy?
precision is being consistent or having similar results, accuracy is getting the results you want or are expected.
