Control
a standard against which other conditions can be compared against
What are some errors in experiments
instrumental, lack of calibration
personal, inaccurate observations, sampling error w too small of a group or not random
replication error, not consistent in experiments
measurement, not accurate or precise
What are the 7 steps to a experiment

- background research
- create hypothesis
- test experiment
- analyze results

- report results
