Answer 4

an element that remains unchanged or unaffected by other variables

Question 4

Experimental bias

Answer 4

the unintentional influence of the experimenter’s expectations, beliefs, or preconceived notions on the outcome of a study or research experiment

Question 5

Hypothesis

Answer 5

an assumption, an idea that is proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be tested to see if it might be true

Question 5

Experimental procedure

Answer 5

the systematic procedures and steps followed in a research study to conduct experiments, gather data, and analyze results

Question 6

Manipulated variable

Answer 6

a factor that is purposefully and specifically changed by the experimenter

Question 7

Qualitative data

Answer 7

data representing information and concepts that are not represented by numbers

Question 12

Scientific question

Answer 12

one where an investigation can be designed and completed to find out the answer without having to do multiple, entirely different investigations to get there

Question 13
