  29. Identify the problem, state hypothesis, test the hypothesis, collect and analyze the data, state the conclusion.

  30. The standard to which the variables are compared to. In other words, the part of the experiment where you don’t change anything.

  31. control

  32. The variable directly under the experimenter’s control.

  33. Independent variable

  34. For an experiment testing the type of fertilizer’s effect on plant growth: What variable is the plant growth?
