Scientifically, independent refers to the direct opposite of dependant.

The dependant variable is varied deliberately and systematically by the experimenter, and the summary of the independent variables form the results of the experiment.

Example: Experiment to determine tensile strength of lumber.

Method: Add 10kg weights to sample lumber and observe results (dependant variable is number of 10 kg weights)

Results: 1...2...3...4...5...6CRASH

'CRASH' = Independent variable, proving tensile strength > 60kg (dependant variable)

What is an independent in a science experiment?

If you mean an "independent variable", it is something that has been carefully isolated in an experiment as being the only factor known to have changed, so that its effects can be analyzed without other factors affecting the result.
