Manipulated variable
Design and Carry out an experiment ______________________________
The quantity whose values we deliberately
choose to change or a primary variable which
causes other secondary variable to change.
Recording and Presenting data
Responding variable
________________________________
The quantity whose value depend on the
manipulated variable or a secondary variable
