Scientific Inquiry and Variables

A good investigation identifies variables, controls important conditions, measures consistently and repeats when useful.

What to remember

  • Independent variable is deliberately changed.
  • Dependent variable is measured.
  • Control variables are held constant.
  • Repeated measurements help assess consistency.
  • Methods should be safe and repeatable.

Key words

independent variable — factor changed
dependent variable — factor measured
controlled variable — factor kept same
repeatability — same method can be repeated
risk — chance/consequence of harm
How to use this drill: review the short notes when learning, then close them on later attempts and practise from memory. The rotating bank delays a full set repeat for 25 attempts on the same browser.
