Question 1 • JPS-2026/27-WRHS-Environmental Science A-(CR-S1)-Miller

A student conducts an experiment to determine how the amount of water given to a plant affects its growth. Which of the following is not a constant or control for this experiment?

Answer
A
the type of plant
B
the amount of soil
C
the amount of water
D
the amount of time in the sun

Explanation

The experiment tests how the amount of water affects plant growth, so the amount of water is the variable that changes. The other factors, such as plant type, soil amount, and time in the sun, should be kept constant. Therefore, “the amount of water” is not a constant or control.
