Which steps are important when designing and conducting a scientific experiment?
a) hide the results from fellow scientists.
b) identify the independent variable.
c) eliminate all dependent variables.
d) address any confounding variables.
e) form a non-falsifiable hypothesis.

b) Identify the independent variable.

d) Address any confounding variables.

e) Form a non-falsifiable hypothesis.

Explanation:

A scientific experiment is an organized and detailed series of steps which are required to validate or reject the  framed hypothesis. The following are the steps which should be included in a scientific experiment.

b) Identify the independent variable. : The independent variable is the one which can be changed or manipulated in an experiment the effect of which can be observed on a dependent variable. Independent variable is necessary for the experiment.

d) Address any confounding variables.  A confounding variable is the one which comes from the outside the changes caused by this variable exert an influence over the dependent and independent variables. This variable can bring change in the outcome of the experiment.

e) Form a non-falsifiable hypothesis.: A non-falsifiable hypothesis is the one which can be proved true on the basis of implementation of suitable methodology and research design.

correct answer: understand the different control methods available

integrated pest management is an strategy that is based on the ecosystem and try to prevent the pest and the damage caused by them by applying combination of technique like habitat manipulation, biological control and use of resistant varieties.

the main aim of the integrated pest management is not to completely eliminate the pest but to strengthen the ecosystem so that conditions are favorable for plants and unfavorable for pests.
