- Controls.
- Variables.
- Experiments.
- Hypotheses.
- Inductive observations.
Answer: B

8) A control can be best defined as:
- A variable that is kept constant in an experiment.
- An experiment where the final results are known ahead of time.
- A hypothesis that regulates the results of an experiment.
- An experiment that is undertaken both in the field and in the laboratory.
- A variable that changes during the course of an experiment.

9) A marine biologist observes that mako sharks, sardines, and salmon leap out of the water. An
example of induction from these observations is:
- Only some fishes can leap out of the water.
- All fishes leap out of the water.
- Fishes leap out of the water to escape from predators.
- Flatfishes can leap out of the water since they live on the bottom.
- Leaping out of the water is often used in feeding.
