It is a matter of certainty. If you change only one variable and the outcome differs, then you may safely assume that the change in the one variable was responsible for that change in outcome. If you change more than one, then how would you know what was responsible?

You wouldn't. You would be left guessing. One of the objectives of good science is reduce the guesswork down to as close to zero as possible.

What is an experiment in which only one variable changes?

An experiment in which only one variable changes is called an "controlled experiment" or "single-variable experiment." In this type of experiment, the researcher manipulates one variable (independent variable) while keeping all other variables constant to determine its effect on the outcome (dependent variable). This approach helps to isolate the impact of that single variable on the results.

How many variables should an experiment test at a time?

It is usually recommended to test one variable at a time in an experiment to accurately determine its effect. This helps to isolate the impact of that specific variable and avoid confounding results from multiple factors changing simultaneously.

A sentence with hypothesis and control?

Why is it important to test only one variable at a time during a experiment?

If you test only one variable then you know that the difference in the experimental and control setup is that one independent variable. If you test more than one you will not know which one made the difference.
