The steps used in science to answer a question through experimentation
The steps used by engineers to answer a question and create a solution by making/innovating a technology
The variable that is the "effect"
Ask questions about the natural world and trying to answer those questions
The variable that is kept the same in an experiment
The variable that is the "cause"
The variable that is measured in an experiment
Those items created by engineers to solve a problem.
Design solutions to problems by designing and building technologies
So that the only thing that is causing the results is the independent variable
The variable that is made different in an experiment
Learning science concepts surrounding an engineering problem through reading, watching videos, lectures, or by performing experiments
Step 2: Research/Generate Concepts
Independent Variable (what's measured or what's made different)
Science
Engineering
Technology
Scientific Method
Dependent Variable (cause or effect)
Controlled Variable definition
Independent Variable (cause or effect)
Dependent Variable (what's measured or what's made different)
Engineering Design Process
Why we have controlled variables
