1 The Controlled Experiment
Why It Is So Important To You!!!!

2 Parts of an Experiment

3 Controls There are usually many controls...
Factors in an experiment that are held constant (the same) from one part of the experiment to another There are usually many controls...

4 Trials Can be one or as many as you wish
The number of times an observation or measurement is made during an experiment Can be one or as many as you wish

5 What Parts Are There? 1. Variables: factors that change in an
experiment 2 Types: Independent Variable Dependent Variable

6 Independent Variable The variable that is purposefully changed or manipulated in an experiment This is where you make the desired changes to test their results!!! Get it...change?

7 Dependent Variable Variable that changes in response to manipulations of the independent variable The outcome of the dependent variable DEPENDS on the independent variable!!! Get it, depends?
