Match the following terms to the correct definitions:
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Dependent Variable | arrow_right_alt | The variable which is manipulated or changed during the experiment |
Controlled Variable | arrow_right_alt | The variable that is the actual measured or observed outcome of the testing. What happens to this variable DEPENDS on how the independent variable is changed or manipulated. |
Independent Variable | arrow_right_alt | All other variables that must remain the same during the experiment and/or testing in order to validate the independent variable. |
Identify the variables in the scenario below:
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Dependent Variable | arrow_right_alt | Radish Seeds |
Controlled Variable | arrow_right_alt | Oxygen |
Independent Variable | arrow_right_alt | 200 mL of water |
Match the following Scientific Method Step to the correct description:

Experiment | arrow_right_alt | Does the type of exercise I do affect my heart rate? |
Dependent Variable | arrow_right_alt | Before starting, you research how to measure your heart rate and different exercise types. |
Independent Variable | arrow_right_alt | You measure your resting heart rate. You briskly walk for 2 minutes and then measure your heart rate. You jump rope for 2 minutes and then measure your heart rate. |
Report Conclusion | arrow_right_alt | Exercise Type |
Controlled Variable | arrow_right_alt | Heart Rate |
Analyze Data | arrow_right_alt | measuring for 2 minutes each exercise |
Scientific Question | arrow_right_alt | You average your heart rates for each exercise type & create a graph comparing the two averages |
Research | arrow_right_alt | You draw a conclusion based upon your data & graph |
