How Science Works

Independent variable

The variable you change to see what happens.

How Science Works

Dependent variable

The variable that you measure.

How Science Works

Continuous variables

Variables that can have any numerical value. You should use a line graph to show this type of data.

How Science Works

Categoric variables

Variables that are described by labels. You should use a bar chart to show this type of data.

How Science Works

Reliability

If someone else can repeat your measurements and get the same results then your results are reliable. Carrying out repeat measurements checks the reliability of your results.

How Science Works

Control variables

The factors you need to keep the same to make your test fair

How Science Works

A fair test

An investigation or experiment where only the independent variable has been allowed to affect the dependent variable. This means only changing one variable and keeping everything else the same.

How Science Works

Validity

Your results must be valid if you are going to be able to draw a conclusion from them. To get valid results you need to carry out a fair test.
