About This Quiz

A controlled variable is one that is used as a standard of comparison for checking results of an experiment and kept constant throughout an experiment and is the basis for every decision after an experiment. Scientific control is an experiment that is designed to minimize the effects of variables other than independent variables. Take the test and learn more!
