By trying to hold one or more variables constant.

For example, we know that car brakes will not work properly (car skids) due to a number of factors, type of car, whether the road is straight or curved, road conditions and car speed. We run experiments where the road conditions are exactly the same, and see at which speed the car begins to skid. Of course we should use the same car in all experiments. We should also drive the same section of road.

How can you eliminate confounding variables in your experiment?

To eliminate confounding variables, or variables that were not controlled and damaged the validity of the experiment by affecting the dependent and independent variable, the experimenter should plan ahead. They should run many checks before actually running an experiment.

What type of variables are in experiment?

the only variables in an experiment are the independent variables [the thing in an experiment your going to change. and the dependent variables [the thing in an experiment your going to measure.


When a variables is kept unchanged in an experiment it is said to be?

When a variable is kept unchanged in an experiment, it is referred to as a "controlled variable" or "constant." Controlled variables are essential for ensuring that any observed effects can be attributed to the independent variable, as they help eliminate potential confounding factors. By maintaining these variables, researchers can improve the reliability and validity of their experimental results.


What type of variables held constant in a experiment?

In an experiment, controlled variables are the factors that are held constant to ensure that any observed changes in the dependent variable can be attributed to the manipulation of the independent variable. By keeping these variables constant, researchers eliminate potential confounding effects that could skew the results. Examples of controlled variables might include temperature, time, or the type of materials used in the experiment. This allows for a clearer understanding of the relationship being studied.

What is the difference between a manipulative and a natural experiment?

in a manipulative experiment the investigator has control over the variables in the experiment. a natural experiment is simply making observations of naturally occurring events and looking for correlations between phenomena. Natural experiments are primarily just measuring and analyzing statistics.
