FCAT Standard 10
SC.7.N.1.4 Identify test variables(independent variables) and outcome variables (dependent variables) in an experiment
An independent variable is the variable that is changed during an experiment, while an dependent variable is the variable that is changed in an experiment because of the independent variable. For example, in the picture above, the independent variable is the time given to the plant for it to grow. The dependent variable is the Plant height.
VOCABULARY
Independent Variable: The variable that you change in an experiment.
Dependent Variable: The variable that is changed because of the independent variable.
Control: The base of the experiment, the part that you do not change.
Constant: The parts of the experiment that are the same no matter what.
Independent Variable: The variable that you change in an experiment.
Dependent Variable: The variable that is changed because of the independent variable.
Control: The base of the experiment, the part that you do not change.
Constant: The parts of the experiment that are the same no matter what.
If you were to make a bar or a line graph, the independent variable is always on the x axis(Horizontal) and the dependent variable is always on the y axis(Vertical) For example, The independent variable is the type of flour used, the dependent variable was the rating, and the control group is the "control".

The website would not let me do questions that have to do with an experiment because the questions was too long.

Animals are classified by Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and species. Domain is the highest sort of classification, while species is the lowest. The more you go down the list, the more similar the organisms are when compared to each other. Domains are very broad and contain many varieties of organisms, while the genus and species only contain few and similar animals. It is important that organisms are classified so we could find new information and be more organized when trying to compare and contrast them.
Carl Linnaeus was born in Småland, Sweden. He received his higher education at Uppsala University. In the 1740's, he went on several journeys to look for and classify different types of plants, animals, and minerals.
VOCABULARY:
Linnaen system- A system used to classify animals
Domain- The biggest category. It classifies organisms based on their shared similarities in their DNA. There are three systems,
the archaea, the bacteria, and the eukaryotes.
Kingdom- The second highest category in the Linnean system. It is separated into Animilia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, and Monera.
Phylum- The third highest category in the Linnean system. It is classified by animals that have the same body plan.
Class- The fourth highest category in the Linnean system.
Order- The fifth highest category in the Linnean system
Family- The sixth highest category in the Linnean system. The animals in this category have very similar characteristics.
Genus- The seventh highest category in the Linnean system. The animals here share almost the same similarities and have minor differences.
Species- The last category in the Linnean system. It shows only one specific animal.
