A constant variable is one that is not the independent variable (the one you are changing) or the dependent variable (the one you change). Constant variables are so named because in order for the experiment to be legitimate, it is expected that the scientist control them, thus keeping them constant across all trials. This ensures that changes in the dependent variable are only the result of changes in the independent variable.

What are the constants and control related to science?

A constant is the thing that stays the same. The control is the normal variable or the regular variable. The control will help, in a science experiment, to see if a new object works better than the regular one. The constants helps to keep the experiment fair.


What does an IVCDV chart mean?

Helps students organize identify independent variable, dependent variable, and constants in an experimental design. This information is then used to write an if/then statement for a hypothesis.


What does contants mean in a science experiment?

Um... try constants. ;)Constants are factors in the experiment that remain, well, constant. For example, if you have two cells in two petri dishes and you put salt in one of them, for whatever reason. Variable, the thing you change, is the salt. The constants are things like temperature, breeze, etc.
