What is an example of an experiment that does not have the independent variable applied to it?
An experiment has to have a varible, if it doesn't that it's probably and engineering experiment or robotics. I think its called a "control"
What is a controlled varable?
Controlled (or control) variables are things that are kept the same during an experiment. There are usually many- for example, when testing how light intensity affects photosynthesis, the controlled variable would be the type of plant used, or the color of the light.
Within the framework of an experiment how do you describe the independent variable dependent variable and the controlled variables?
In an experiment, the independent variable is altered, and the effect observed is the dependent variable, or outcome. The controlled variable is intended to be kept the same throughout the experiment so that changes in it do not affect the results.
What does controlled varibles mean?
A controlled variable is the part of an experiment has to remain constant throughout the entire time. Example: Heating a cup of water to dissolve sugar. The temperature would change time to time, but the CONTROLLED variable would have to be the type of sugar and consistency of stirring.
Why is a controlled experiment important to science?
A controlled experiment means that you try to keep all the variables that are involved in the experiment under control apart from the Dependent and the Independent variables to make sure that any results obtained from the experiment have been affected by the independent variable and not some other extraneous variable. It also ensures that the experiment would have high validity. That is, if the experiment has really measured what it was supposed to measure.
What isa controlled experiment?
Pretty much having controlled variables. Controlled variables are something in the experiment that must remain the same through all tests. For example, if you are testing the decay of an apple... The temperature that the two fruits are enduring during the experiment must be the exact same.

What is a controlled experirment?
A controlled experiment is an experiment in which all factors are controlled except for the one variable you will be altering. If you were performing a controlled experiment on the effects of fertilizer on plant growth, for example, you have to control plant variety, exposure to sunlight, soil type and water ration. The only thing you would change is the fertilizer used on each plant.
Is time or temperature the independent variable?
it depends the one you wish to control in the experiment , for example if the temperature was measured every minutes so the controlled variable is time...
What is a scientifict controlled experiment?
It is an experiment in which only one variable is changed for example if I was seeing where a banana rotted fastest the only variable that would change is where the banana is placed.

What makes a controlled experiment different from others?
A controlled experiment is different from others since it has the same amount of things except for only one variable. For example of a controlled experiment, If you have two plants and you want to see if it will grown better in sunlight or in darkness. So you put on in the closet and put the other one in a open window. You water and give both of them the same amount of soil, water, ferterizer. Except for the one variable which in this case is sunlight.

What is a controlled expirement?
an experiment that can be controlled i did not know this That is not a good answer! A controlled experiment is: If you set up an experiment: Example: You have two plants. You want to know if fertilizing every day causes it to grow more. In your experiment everything has to be the same! Except one thing. You have to have the same type of dirt and pot and flower/vegetable. You have to water each of them every day. But, you fertilize ONE of them once a day until your results are clear to you, or when you want to stop testing. This way, you can see how the fertilizer effects the plant growth compared to just water every day. If you change more than one thing, like how much you water the plant, it is not a controlled experiment anymore. because then you won't know which variable (thing that you have changed) is taking effect. You wouldn't know if it was more water or the fertilizer, or both that is making the plant grow faster!
