This document discusses what constitutes a fair test in a science experiment. It provides two examples, one that is not a fair test and one that is. The first example compares the speed of two cars going down a slope but gives one car a push for a head start, violating the principle of changing only one factor at a time. The second example plants seeds in pots with varying soil and fertilizer but ensures all other conditions are equal, making it a fair test. A fair test requires keeping all conditions the same except for the one factor being examined.
