Quiz #2 Mr. Betancourt

Question 1

Field study

Answer 1

controlled experiment done in natural habitat

Question 2

Independent variable

Answer 2

the 1 change added to the experimental setup

that causes a result different from the control setup

Question 3

Dependent variable

Answer 3

the measured outcome/result cause by the independent variable

Question 4

Control

Answer 4

part of controlled experiment that is left alone (no variable)

Question 5

Constants

Answer 5

• factors between control & experimental setups that stay the same

Question 6

Purposes of experiments

Answer 6

• to gather info (research) & test hypothesis

Question 7

Procedures

Answer 7

• specific ordered steps to follow during an experiment

Question 8

Scientific Method/Process

Answer 8

- guide to gathering information & 
answering questions (solving problems) 
*not steps to do an experiment*

Question 9

Importance of only 1 variable

Answer 9

• 1 variable = 1 cause for outcome

Question 10

Purpose of the control

Answer 10

• comparison for experimental setup’s results

Question 11

Difference between control set-up and experimental set-up

Answer 11

experimental setup gets 1 variable different from normal (control)

Question 12

Parts of an experiment:

Answer 12

problem - question to investigate, shows cause & effect relationship
between independent & dependent variables
hypothesis - possible answer, If,…Then statement, shows cause &
effect relationship between independent & dependent variables
conclusion - summarizes purpose of experiment, explains outcomes,
and states if data supports hypothesis or not
data analysis - studying data for patterns and relationships between
variables & control in order to draw conclusions (inferences)

Answer 13

safe environment

Question 14

Graph Data set up

Answer 14

• label X & Y axis,
  Y-axis = dependent variable,
  X-axis = independent variable & control
  and time for a line graph

Question 15

Answer 15

• cause and effect relationship between independent & dependent variables
