An __ variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment.

independent

A __ variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.

dependent

__ variables are all the other variables that could affect the dependent variable; they are kept the same during the experiment.

control

In the Specific Heat Capacity experiment, __ rise is the dependent variable.

temperature

In the Thermal Insulation experiment, __ drop is the dependent variable.

temperature

In the Resistance 1 experiment, the __ of wire is the independent variable.

length

In the Resistance 2 experiment, the series or __ is the independent variable.

parallel

In the I-V characteristics experiment, __ difference is the independent variable.

potential

In the Density experiment, __ or material is the independent variable.

object

In the Force and Extension experiment, __ is the independent variable.

force

In the Acceleration 1 experiment, __ is the independent variable.

force

In the Acceleration 2 experiment, __ is the independent variable.

mass

In the Waves (on a string) experiment, __ is the independent variable.

frequency

In the Light experiment, angle of __ is the independent variable.

incidence

In the Radiation and Absorption experiment, __ and texture of surface is the independent variable.

colour

When a measurement is repeated there is little variation in the measured value, its called __.

repeatable

When an experiment is done by someone else the findings are the same, its called __.

reproducible

The result of a measurement that does not fit the pattern in the other results is called an __.

anomaly

The size of the divisions on a measuring instrument is called __.

resolution

The minimum to maximum values tested or measured is called __.
