Answer:

A controlled experiment consists of:

  • Variable
  • Independent Variable
  • Dependent Variable
  • Constant
  • Control

Step-by-step explanation:

In a controlled experiment, an independent variable (the cause) is systematically manipulated and the dependent variable (the effect) is measured; any extraneous variables are controlled. The researcher can operationalize (i.e. define) the variables being studied so they can be objectivity measured.

Hope this helps.. Good Luck

Variable. a factor that can change in an experiment.

Independent Variable. Manipulated Variable, the variable we change.

Dependent Variable. Responding Variable, the variable we measure.

Constant. a variable that does not change.

Control.
