I & O Variable- change or
could be changed. Independent-changed
on purpose. Dependent-responds
to the independentvariable.
Constant-things thatare kept the same.
An inference is yourbest guess based onthe information
available and thecircumstancesinvolved.
Observation is thetaking in of information
by the body andbecoming aware of thatinformation.
