If you do not then it is harder to determine whether the changes in your dependent variable are due to differences in independent variables or other variables. However, sometimes it is not possible and good experimental design is required to permit these estimates.

What Variables that do not change during?

Constants or control variables are kept constant during an experiment to isolate the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable. These variables do not change in order to ensure that any observed changes in the dependent variable are due to the manipulation of the independent variable and not influenced by other factors.


What is any factor that is not allowed to change in an experiment called?

A constant. It is important to ensure that only one factor changes in an experiment (called the independent variable). All other factors need to remain constant.


What are the only things that can change in a valid experiment?

In a valid experiment, only the independent variable can be deliberately changed by the researcher to observe its effect on the dependent variable. Other factors, known as constants, must remain the same to ensure that any observed changes in the dependent variable are a result of the independent variable manipulation.


The relationship between dependent variable and independent variable?

A dependent variable depends on the other factors while an independent variable does not depend on the other factors.


Factors that distort the way the independent variable affects the dependent variable are referred to as?

The factors that distort the way the independent variable affects the dependent variable are referred to as the double-blinds. The factors try to explore the relationship between the dependent and independent variables.


What is a constant in a experiment?

Constants are the things that are kept the same each time one of the trials in the experiment is repeated. For example, constants could include the amount of water used, the brand of effervescent tablet used, the type of water used, and the fact that the water was not stirred. As many outside factors as possible should be kept constant in an experiment so that the researcher can be sure that any changes that occur do so because of the independent variable.


Definition of independent variable and dependat variable?

The independent variable is the variable which you change. It is not changed by any outside factors and so is independent of them.The dependent variable is the variable which is changed by the independent variable changing and which you measure. It is dependent on another variable.


What is an experiment that involves changing one factor and observing its effect on another while keeping all other factors constant?

Controlled experiment. The thing you change is called the independent variable and the constants are the dependent variables. By only changing the independent variable, any results can be attributed to this.


Why do you called independent variable independent variable?

The independent variable is called independent because it is the variable that is being manipulated or changed by the researcher to observe its effect on the dependent variable. It is independent of any other factors in the experiment because its values are determined by the researcher's actions.


Which of these factors varies due to effects of the factors being tested in a controlled?

the variable


Difference between dependant and independant variable?

dependent: factors of a experiment that scientist observe, and can be changed by the outcome of the independent variable independent: a factor of a experiment that changes because you change it on purpose


A quantity in an experiment that remains unchanged or constant?

Nothing cuz i don't do expermints at all cuz i don't like skool! its boring! But i like music!!
