It depends. The IV is what YOU change in an experiment, the Dependent Variable is what changes as a result of the IV. If you are changing something else to see how much water evaporates under certain conditions, then the water is the DV.

What is the independent and dependent variables when you water plants with milk or water?

The independent variables are the milk and water, while the dependent variables are the plants, because they don't change.


Does water evaporate quicker in small containers?

Yes, water tends to evaporate more quickly in small containers compared to larger containers, as there is a relatively higher surface area exposed to the surrounding environment in small containers. This increased surface area allows for more water molecules to escape into the air, leading to faster evaporation.

Independent variables for types woods absorbing in water?

For studying the absorption of water by different types of wood, independent variables could include the type of wood being tested (e.g., oak, pine, maple), the surface area of the wood exposed to water, and the temperature of the water used for soaking the wood. These variables can be controlled and manipulated to understand their effects on water absorption by the different types of wood.

Can salt evaporate from water?

Yes, salt can evaporate from water. When water evaporates, it leaves behind the salt, which does not evaporate.

What do dependent and independent variables represent in science?

In science, independent variables are variables that you control the change of, to see how somethings changes as a result of changing these variables. Dependent variables are variables that change because the independent variables are changed, but you don't change directly. A good example of this would be an experiment where you're measing how cold a glass of water gets after putting in different amounts of ice in it and wating 5 minutes. The independant variable would be the amount of ice you put into each glass, because that's what you're directly changing. The dependent variable is how cold each glass gets, because that's the result you're trying to see by changing the independent variable - it changes because something else changes. Additionally, when graphing, independent variables are put on the x-axis (horizontal line), and dependent variables are put on the y-axis (vertical line).


What are the controls and variables for Seperating salt from water?

I dont know about the control but the independent variable is the amount of salt water and the dependent variable is the amount of water and salt rendered.


Is water a variable?

It can be, it depends on your experiment. Independent variables are the variables in an experiment that will not change. If you want to do an experiment that tests how something reacts with water, then starting with a clean controlled water sample for each test would be necessary and an independent variable. Conversely, if you were testing the cleanliness of multiple water sources, then the ideology of clean water would be your dependent variable, which would change upon each testing. WIth your given information I cannot say whether or not you would want water to be either a dependent or an independent variable for your experiment.

Will leaded gas go bad?

Gas can go bad and evaporate in various containers. It can also get water and other debris in it depending on how it is stored. It loses its power over time as well.
