What makes a good scientific experiment?

A good scientific experiment is when you have one or two things and you keep one the same and make the other have a difference: example: You have two plants. you want to know which fertilizer makes them grow taller. So you buy Super fertilizer and Dan's Fertilizer. you put both fertilizers on the different plants so plant one has Super fertilizer and plant two has Dan's fertilizer. you keep the amount of water, sunlight, soil and ECT the same.


What are the scientific variables and what do they mean?

In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that is manipulated, for example plant fertilizer. The dependent variable is what is observed and measured as a result of the independent variable, for example plant height. Controlled variables are factors that are kept constant for the entire experiment, such as temperature and moisture, so that the observed results are due only to the independent variable. So in an experiment measuring the effect of fertilizer on plant growth, the independent variable would be the fertilizer, the independent variable would be the height measured at specific intervals, and the controlled variable of temperature and moisture would be kept the same for both groups.


What are the disadvantages of using cycle menu?

Using a cycle menu will mean the food in a restaurant is predictable serving the same food on the same day each week or month. The downside to this might be the customers tire of the same old thing.


How do you figure out the variables in a science project?

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.

What is a test experiment that is cntrolled?

It is a controlled experiment. Take for example if you wanted to see how well a fertilizer helps in making a plant grow. All variables must be controlled except for one - the amount of fertilizer added. So you must have a control. Just stick the same plant in some potting soil with no fertilizer and add the same amount of light, water, temperature, etc as the experimental plant except add fertilizer to the one you are testing. The one that has no fertilizer is the control. You must have one of these to compare the one that you added the fertilizer to so you can see if the fertilizer made any difference. Hope this helps.


How can you control nutrient loss in the soil?

Does variable mean the same as result?

no a variable is anything that can change. a result is what you conclude after performing an experiment. example: ok let's say you want to test a new fertilizer you would most likely use two different plants in the same room using a different fertilizer for each plant. the variable would be the fertilizer and the result would be if the new fertilizer worked or not. hope this helps.

What makes plants grow faster water or sugar water?

Well plants produce sugar for their food. There is a possibility it could work. Try it out, have a control plant with just water, one with sugar water and maybe one with fertilizer from the store. Note they would all need the same light and doses of the variable ( sugarwater, water and fertilizer).
