Want this question answered?
It is the variables you will not change to keep the experiment a fair test, they should be kept constant to show how your independent variable affects your dependant variable.
Fair testing is when you test something with many variables, but you must change one variable. e.g. testing the different types ofdrinking water. [Tap water, hose water, etc.
a fair test is were you only change one thing
Only one at a time, since you would not know which variable(s) made the observed changes. You would need to measure each change separately. But if you want to test multiple variables, then you would need to test every possible permutation. If you want to test two chemicals, then you should test your control (a placebo using neither substance), substance A, substance B, and both substances.
The variable that you change is the independent variable(which you change). This could be the amount of light, fertilizer or salt that you give to a plant to observe how it affects its growth. What you measure is the dependent variable(the variables that change due to the change in independent variable) eg mass of the plant each day or week, number of leaves or height. All other variables are called the control variables(variables that are constant throughout the experiment). These make the experiment a "fair test". In the above experiment if you were to vary the amount of salt in the soil then each plant must be given the same amount of light, fertilizer, water etc.
A fair test is when you test something equally changing the variables but keeping everything else the same
it is a fair test
It is the variables you will not change to keep the experiment a fair test, they should be kept constant to show how your independent variable affects your dependant variable.
A fair test is something that doesn't change in a test for a plant.
It means that except for the independent variable (the only factor that you change) you remain the other variables constant. To keep the control variables the same. Then this is a controlled experiment (fair test). Hope this helps :)

its called a fair test. :)
Generally speaking, you only want to test a single variable within one experiment so when a change occurs you know what caused it. If you change multiple variables at once it is harder to attribute the change to a single cause.
There can only be one independent and one dependent variable. All other variables should be classed as control variables and must be kept constant to achieve a fair test.
