Experimental Design

4. A scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact.
7. The specific actions or steps taken to carry out an experiment.
9. The process of examining data to uncover patterns or results that help in drawing conclusions from the experiment.
12. The process of gathering information during an experiment to analyze and draw conclusions.
13. Proceduresand measures taken to ensure the well-being and safety of the experimenters and the subjects.
14. A structured format for organizing and recording observations, measurements, and results during an experiment.
17. The variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable.
18. A detailed, sequential list of actions required to perform the experiment.
19. Elements, features, or factors that can change and affect the outcome of an experiment.
20. Something that is based on truth, logic, or facts that makes the results of an experiment trustworthy.

1. The tools and materials needed to carry out the experiment.
2. An outcome in a trial where the effects are measured against a control group that does not receive the experimental treatment to ensure that any changes are due to the intervention itself.
3. A standard of comparison in experiments. The control group is exposed to the same conditions except for the variable being tested.
5. The method and structure of an investigation, planned to find answers to research questions by specifying what data will be collected and how.
6. The final part of the experiment where you interpret the results and determine whether they support or refute your hypothesis.
8. A situation in a study or experiment that requires careful consideration of right and wrong conduct, especially regarding the treatment of participants.
10. The process by which a participant voluntarily confirms their willingness to participate in a particular trial, after having been informed of all aspects of the trial that are relevant to their decision to participate.
11. The variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment; it is 'dependent' on the independent variable.
15. A proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.
16. Repeated experiments or observations, performed to ensure reliability and accuracy of data.
