Constants and Controls
ConstantConstant: something that scientist makes

Ex. Watering the plants the same amount of water or making sure you are testing the same person every time
Control Control: The part of the experiment
that the scientist doesn’t change or add the variable to
Ex. The plant with the white light
Conclusion
The results of the experiment; is your hypothesis “right or wrong”?
Activity!We have done many labs in this
class…
We have also talked about a lot of different experiments – with your partner, identify each part of each experiment – the first group to finish correctly WINS!
