We discuss the research process and three core concepts: variable, measurement and uncertainty. Variables are the building blocks of all quantitative studies. We describe their types, issues we face when deciding how to measure variables, and core differences between observational and experimental research. This unit will be of interest to students from different disciplines, from education and health to chemistry and engineering. You will come up with a simple study design, develop confidence in navigating quantitative research in general and improve interdisciplinary communication.
