Match the following parts of the experiment: Esther became interested in insulation while her parent’s new house was being built. She decided to determine which insulation transferred the least heat. She filled each of 5 jars half-full with water. She sealed each jar with a plastic lid.Then she wrapped 4 of the jars with a different kind of insulation, leaving one jar without insulation. She put the jars outside in the direct sunlight. Later, she measured the temperature of the water in each jar.

• How much water

• Dependent Variable

• Temperature of water.

• Controlled Variable

• Jar with no insulation.

• Independent Variable

• Type of insulation

• Experimental Group

• Jars with insulation

• Control Group

Post Malone has taught his pet rat to run a maze. He thinks that the rat will go faster if he puts its favorite treat at the end. He has the rat run the maze ten times with the favorite treat and ten times with a regular food pellet. He uses a stopwatch to measure how long it takes for the rat to get to the reward. This is an example of what?

• repetition

• replication

• Post's face tattoos
