experimental groupexperimental group

A. Data B. Prediction

C. Independent VariableD. Objective

Independent Variable is what is being tested and is the only difference between the control and experimental groups

Fourth Step of the Scientific ProcessFourth Step of the Scientific ProcessActual steps taken to try to find the Actual steps taken to try to find the

answer to the problemanswer to the problem

A. Gathering Information B. Forming a Hypothesis

C. Reporting ResultsD. Testing with an Experiment

Testing with an experiment is the fourth step of the scientific process. It is the actual steps you take to try to answer the question or problem

develop itchy soars. develop itchy soars.

A. Development of soarsB. type of kitty liter

The kitty litter is what they are testing so it is the independent variable.

how it was supported, and what you how it was supported, and what you would change to make the experiment would change to make the experiment

better.better.

A. Gather Information B. State the ProblemC. Draw Conclusions

D. Test with Experiment

Drawing conclusions is the Sixth step of Scientific Process. Where you tell your audience if your Hypothesis was supported, why or how it was supported, and what you would change to make the experiment better.
