1. ___________________ the effect in the experiment. the responding variable. it responds to the

independent variable.

1. ___________________ parts of all experiments that are kept the same ... so they don’t affect the results.
2. ___________________ basic metric unit of mass.
3. ___________________ metric unit for density.
4. ___________________ one of the two types of test groups. has the independent variable removed so the

results can be compared to the experimental test group.

1. ___________________ the cause in the experiment. the manipulated variable... manipulated by the

experimenters to cause a response.

1. ___________________ a ratio of mass to volume. how much matter is packed into a space. (equal to

mass/volume)

1. ___________________ amount of matter in a substance. based upon the number of and type of atoms

that it’s made of.

1. ___________________ basic metric unit of length, distance or displacement.
2. ___________________ one of the two types of test groups. has both an independent variable and

dependent variable. the results are compared to the control test group.

1. ___________________ a proposed solution to a problem
2. ___________________ a life - sustaining thin gaseous envelope surrounding the earth.
3. ___________________ the innermost layer of the earth containing high density iron and nickel
4. ___________________ this includes all water on earth including frozen, liquid, and evaporated water.
5. ___________________ this extends from the ocean floor to several kilometers into the atmosphere and

contains all life on earth

1. ___________________ when one variable responds to changes in another variable without the first

variable being the cause of that change.

Explanation:

31)

The definition "The effect in the experiment. The responding variable. It responds to the independent variable" matches "Dependent Variable", which is labeled as ABC.

"Parts of all experiments that are kept the same... so they don't affect the results" describes "Controlled Variables", labeled as ACE.

"Basic metric unit of mass" is "Gram", labeled as BC.

Answer:

ABC. Dependent Variable
