Control Group

1.Control Group: A group that experiences all the experimental procedures with the exception of the independent variable. 2.Control Group: This group does not go through the independent variable but does everything else in the experiment, so that the independent variable can be isolated for its cause in the conclusion. 3.Control Group: This group does not go through the independent variable but does everything else in the experiment, so that the independent variable can be isolated for its cause in the conclusion.

Dependent Variable

1.Dependent Variable: A measure that demonstrated the effect of the independent variable; The result part of the Hypothesis. 2. Dependent Variable: This is the part of the experiment that all groups go through. This is the setting of the experiment to see how the independent variable works on the experimental group while still having the control group using the same experiments but without the independent variable.3.Dependent Variable. Is the dependent variable the potential cause or the effect in an experiment? The dependent variable is the effect.

1.Independent Variable:

1.an experimental variable controlled or manipulated by the experimenter. The "If A happens" part of the experiment 2.The independent variable is the part of the experiment scientists are trying to figure out how it effects the outcome. This is the part of the hypothesis you are trying to see if it is true or not. 3.Independent Variable. Is the independent variable the potential cause or the effect in an experiment? The independent variable the potential cause.

Confounding Variable

1.Confounding Variable: variables that are irrelevant to the hypothesis being tested but can alter a researchers conclusions.2.Confounding Variable: These are different variables that you encounter by having different people doing an experiment such as activities or lifestyle choices that can change a person's results. It is data that does not affect the data of the experiment because it is not factored into the experiment.3.Confounding Variable. What is a confounding variable with respect to the cause/effect relation in an experiment? Because Confounding variables do not directly affect the experiment, they can only change the scientist's conclusion, I would say they are only a Potential Cause for.

Experimental Group

1.Experimental Group: A group of participants that is exposed to the independent variable. 2.Experimental Group: The group that shows if the independent variable does what the scientists thought it would in the hypothesis. 3.Experimental Group. Why is the experimental group essential in an experiment?" Use the cause-effect relation to answer that question. The experimental group is introduced to (the Potential Cause) the independent variable, which is giving the data for the experiment. Without the experimental group there would be no cause or effect to witness because there would not be an experiment.
