    The document discusses science process skills including inferring, formulating hypotheses, controlling variables, interpreting data, and experimenting. It defines three types of variables: constant variables which are kept the same, manipulated or independent variables which are varied in an experiment, and responding or dependent variables which are the result based on manipulated variables. As an example, it identifies that in an experiment planting munggo seeds in pots kept in open and shaded spaces, the constant variable is watering once a day, the manipulated variable is the location (open vs. shaded), and the responding variable is seedling growth.

    Controlling variables
    Kinds of Variables
    1. Constant Variable
    -a factor that is kept the same.

    2. Manipulated Variable or Independent


    -a factor that is varied in the experiment

    3. Responding Variable or Dependent


    -is the result based on manipulated variables
    Identify the different variables in the situation below.

    I planted five munggo seeds in two similar pots. I kept


    one pot in an open space and the other pot in a
    shaded place. I watered them once a day for one
    week. After one week, the seedlings grew differently.

    1. What is the constant variable?


    2. What is the manipulated variable?
    3. What do you think is the responding variable?
    Godbless!
