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