👉 A value kept constant during an experiment, equation, calculation or similar, but varied over other versions of the experiment, equation, calculation, etc.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling a word that sounds a little tricky – “parameters.” Don't you fret, it’s not as hard as it seems, let’s break it down with a little rhyme, it beams! Think of it like this: imagine you’re baking a cake, a sweet delight, You have ingredients – flour, sugar, and might! Now, the amount of sugar, that's a parameter , see? It stays the same for each cake, consistently. But other things change - like the oven’s heat, Or maybe you add berries, oh so sweet! The dictionary says it perfectly describes – A constant value, under different skies! It's a fixed point, a number held with grace, While everything around it finds its place. So, "parameters" mean things that don’t shift and stray, They are the rules that guide you along the way. In equations too, or experiments grand, They're values held steady, across the land! Let's recap: A parameter is a constant . It doesn't change as you run different versions of something – whether it’s an experiment, a formula, or even a recipe. Does that make sense? Now, who can give me an example of a parameter in a science experiment? Don’t be shy!
