Final Study Guide Directions: Make a study set in Quizlet called Final Study Guide. Research the answers to each bullet. Make a one or more Quizlet cards (or actual index cards) for each bullet. Remember you can add pictures to your cards. Study your set. Science Skills Identify variables in an investigation o independent variable the variable that you are changing in the experiment o dependent variable what you are observing/measuring o constant variables what remained the same, your baseline for comparison. Explain the purpose of having controls in an experiment the purpose of having a control is to be sure that you have a fair test and to serve as a baseline for your experiment. This way you know how your changes impacted the final results.
