Worked Solution

Step 1: The aim is to test flexibility of different materials. Step [2-9]: To ensure a fair test, all physical dimensions of the strips (length, width, thickness) must be the same. Step [2-9]: Therefore, thickness must be a constant variable.

Correct answer: The thickness of the strip
