Environmental factors if you cannot control them.Variable factors if you can control them.See link below for easy explanation:In an experiment the scientist is able to change the independent variable. To insure a fair test, a good experiment has only one independent variable. As the scientist changes the independent variable, he or she observes what happens. - See more at: http://www.chacha.com/question/what-part-of-an-experiment-is-the-factor-that-you-change#sthash.iyH25Jac.dpufIn an experiment the scientist is able to change the independent variable.

That is simply not true.There are times when a number of factors can have an effect on the outcome of an experiment but it is not possible to conduct the experiment so that only one factor is allowed to vary while all others are controlled. It is far more efficient - in terms of experimental units - to design the experiment so that the interactions between variable factors can be estimated. Experimental design is the subject that deals with the problem of designing efficient schema for dealing with a number of interacting factors. You may wish to look at "Latin square design" and "Greco-Latin squares" as an introduction to design.
Well in the case that it does have a variable, even just one, it would still be a variable experiment because that one part of the experiment may still cause a different effect/result when changed!!!
controlled experiment :D
A constant. It is important to ensure that only one factor changes in an experiment (called the independent variable). All other factors need to remain constant.
The most difficult part of an experiment is designing an experiment that tests only one factor.
Indpendent variable
A controlled experiment.
the dependent variable is the only thing that changes in an experiment
true
A controlled experiment
A controlled experiment
controlled variable is the factor that leaved unchanged to investigate any only one factor that has been changed in the other experiment and the effect of not altering this factor.
You are performing a controlled experiment.
A controlled experiment
A valid one. An experiment cannot conclusively prove anything if more than one independent variable is altered at a time. That being said, many dependent variables could show change and the experiment would still be valid, as long as only one independent variable was altered at a time. An experiment that changes only one variable at a time is called a controlled experiment.
