What is name of all factors that should remain the same in an experiment?

Factors that are kept the same in an experiment are called constants.

What is the differnce between a variable and control in an experiment?

the variable is allowed to change, the control must stay the same. If you are testing whether a bird whistles best in hot or cold temperatures, the type of bird should be the control.

Is it necessary to be a scientist in order to conduct an experiment?

It depends.

Obviously, first of all, you'll need a level of expertise on the subject. Ie, you should know what you are doing. You could be either degree educated or self taught.

Assuming you have the ability to conduct an experiment, then you should check if you need a special permit for the experiment in question. If a license isn't required, then you can go ahead and do your experiment.

The only point where an amateur scientist would struggle is in cases where the licensing laws apply. Anything that involves animals, humans, medicine, chemistry, radio technology, etc would require a special permit. In such cases being employed in a lab as a scientist would help.

What is a good senior project idea that involves the outdoors?

If the data from an experiment does not support your hypothesis can you revise it or come up with a new one?

Yes. That's the whole point of experiments. If you reckon something will happen, but it doesn't then you have to change your hypothesis. Or your experimental method. Which is why scientists self regulate by publishing claims that other scientists then try to recreate or disprove. Or even just criticise your methods.

If your data doesn't support your hypothesis, but you doggedly stick to it anyway, you've created religion.

What makes an experiment vaild?

Having a good hypothesis, having statistics to work with, thinking about anamolous results, repeating experiments etc

Why so you think that it is a good idea to limit an experiment to test only one variable at a time whenever possible?

The dependent variable is also called the response variable. It is the variable being observed in the experiment. A change in the independent variable is what causes the change (if any) in the dependent variable, which is the purpose of the experiment.

What is a hypothesis for science fair projects?
