An experiment in which you deliberately change only one variable, and observe how a
second variable changes as a result, while you hold all other variables that you control
constant, is a: - Answer: controlled experiment
The variable that you adjust is called the________ variable - Answer: independent
This is an example of employing a ______________ of the river - Answer: model
If the students decide to collect data from the computer simulation on how the speed of
the water changes for different widths, but neglect to hold the rate of water entering from
the source at the same value, they are simulating a(n) _______________ experiment. -
Answer: uncontrolled
If the students keep the rate of water entering the pipe at one gallon per minute in the
simulation to see the speed of the water change as the width of the pipe is changed, the
independent variable is ____________ - Answer: pipe width
If the students keep the rate of water entering the pipe at one gallon per minute in the
simulation to see the speed of the water change as the width of the pipe is changed, the
independent variable is pipe width and the the dependent variable is
___________________ - Answer: water speed
