12-10 Experimental Design Review

Which step will you first complete?

• Make a prediction.

• Communicate findings.

• Identify the question.

What is required once you make a prediction?

• Design an experiment.

• Conduct an experiment.

"Write a one- or two-sentence statement that predicts the outcome of the experiment" occurs during this process:

• Make a prediction.

• Identify the question.

"Write a series of numbered steps to a procedure that tests the hypothesis" will occur during this process:

• Design an experiment.

• Conduct the experiment.

"Complete multiple trials to confirm that data is consistent and not a result of random events" will occur during this process:

• Design an experiment.

• Conduct an experiment.

The experimenter does not manipulate the _ variable, but instead observes or measures it for variations.

• dependent

• independent

It is the measurable effect, outcome, or response:

• independent variable.

• dependent variable.

Engineers use it to document their experimental design to test design solutions against the design requirements.

• Test plan

• Test summary report

Engineers use it to summarize the data analysis and state the conclusion for each test on the product, and will suggest next steps in the design process if the design did not meet the requirement(s).

• Test plan

• Test summary report

True or False.

Two benefits to communicate your findings are increasing the knowledge base that all current research will be built around, impacting the intended stakeholders.

• True

• False

Answer explanation

It will increase the knowledge base that all future research will be built around.
