Neither. You aren't really doing an experiment.

What does iv and dv stand for in science?
The IV = Independent VariableThe DV = Dependent VariableAND!!In science you'll learn:Hypothesis = an "If...,then" statement > EXAMPLE > If I mix red paint with blue paint, then it will turn purple > WHERE IS THE IV & DV?? > Remember: "If...[IV]...,then...[DV]" > so: mixing red and blue paint = IV, and turning purple = DV
What hypothesis can you use for a middle school science fair project?
A hypothesis is your best educated guess on what the outcome of the science fair project is going to be. So you would first need to come up with the science experiment that you want to do before you can come up with your hypothesis. Example: if your science project was mixing baking soda and vinegar together to see what type of reaction you will get, your hypothesis is your guess on what is going to happen when you mix the baking soda and vinegar together. So my hypothesis for that experiment of mixing baking soda and vinegar together is that it will foam up and overflow from the container that I mixed them in. If that happens then my hypothesis was correct. So you need to have an experiment in mind before you can make your hypothesis for the experiment.
Give me an example of experiment?
mixing vinegar and baking powder:)
Does the painting of Mona Lisa have science in it?
the science is the mixing of colors and the drawing.
What components should a good scientific experiment contain?
(1) singularity - it tests only one variable in the situation (2) reproducibility - it can be re-done by other scientists to verify the results (3) utility - the answer matters to human life in some way While most would agree with the first two elements of a "good experiment" listed above, I'm not sure you would find much consensus on the concept of "utility." Whether the result of an experiment is ultimately deemed "useful" to human life has little bearing on the methodology and scientific rigor with which an experiment is conducted. On the other hand, some would say that scientific integrity ("honesty") is a necessary ingredient in any good experiment, while others would say that a good experiment must either prove or disprove a hypothesis...which is, after all, the whole point of conducting the experiment in the first place.

What make an experiment a controlled experoment?
A controlled experiment is one where two similar experiments are run in parallel, differing only in the specific intervention. A perfect controlled experiment is one where the experimenter does not know which arm is which, so is looking honestly for the outcome rather than looking for confirmation of an expected outcome. This is called blinding. In medicine, a double-blinded experiment is one where both the experimenter and the subjects are unaware of which arm they are in. Blinding is important where judgment of the outcome is subjective. An experiment on a pain drug will be highly sujective so blinding is vital; an experiment on an antibiotic may not need blinding as the results could be established by serum counts. The main function of a controlled experiment is to isolate other variables in complex systems. The most familiar kind is the standard drug trial, where a drug is compared, double-blinded, in a population which is randomised between the intervention and control arms - this is known as a randomised double-blinded controlled trial, and is required for drug approvals. The control arm may be a placebo (an inert pill), or it maybe the existing treatment. Sometimes multi-arm trials are conducted: new treatment versus current treatment and placebo. The book "Bad Science" by Ben Goldacre has an excellent overview of controlled trials ad their strengths and weaknesses.
