Document Summary

This variable depends of the manipulated variable: a controlled experiment compares an experimental group with a control group, the use of control and experimental groups can demonstrate the effect of a single variable. For example, researchers found that mice models that did not match their habitat had higher predation rates than camouflaged models: hypotheses can be tested in humans with clinical trials, as well as retrospective or prospective observational studies. The process of science is repetitive, nonlinear, and collaorative: forming and testing hypotheses at the core of science. This endeavor is influenced by three spheres: exploration and discovery, analysis and feedback from the scientific community, societal benefits and outcomes. Biology, technology, and society are connected in important ways: the goal of science is to understand natural phenomena. In contrast, the goal of technology is to apply scientific knowledge for some specific purpose: these two fields, however, are interdependent. Technological advances stem from scientific research, and research benefits from new technologies.
