What is the first step in the scientific method?
- A.
  
  Give advice to other scientists
- B.
  
  Create a chart or graph
- C.
  
  State the purpose of the experiment
- D.
  
  Give the conclusion
Correct Answer
C. State the purpose of the experiment

Explanation
The first step in the scientific method is to state the purpose of the experiment. This is important because it helps to clarify the objective of the research and provides a clear direction for the entire scientific process. By stating the purpose, scientists can establish a hypothesis and design an experiment to test it. This step sets the foundation for the entire scientific investigation and helps to ensure that the research is focused and meaningful.

What is the last step in the scientific method?
- A.
  
  State the purpose of the experiment
- B.
  
  Give advice to other scientists
- C.
  
  Create graph or chart
- D.
  
  Perform research on the topic
Correct Answer
B. Give advice to other scientists

Explanation
The last step in the scientific method is to give advice to other scientists. This step involves sharing the findings and conclusions of the research with the scientific community. By providing advice, scientists can contribute to the collective knowledge and understanding of the topic, and also help guide future research and experiments. It promotes collaboration, peer review, and the advancement of scientific knowledge as a whole.

A variable that you keep the same for each trial is a ____ variable.
- A.
  
  Fixed
- B.
  
  Controlled
Correct Answer
B. Controlled

Explanation
In experimental research, a controlled variable is a factor that is intentionally kept constant throughout all trials. This is done to ensure that any observed changes or effects are solely due to the manipulated independent variable and not influenced by other variables. By controlling variables, researchers can isolate and study the specific impact of the independent variable on the dependent variable. Therefore, the correct answer for the given question is "Controlled."

Rate this question:
8.

A control group is a group that gets the variable being tested.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
It's an experimental group that gets the variable being tested.
