Dependent variable is your data, independent variable is what you are testing. Ex. Sunlight would be the independent variable and a plants growth would be the dependent variable.
Independent variables are variables that can be changed in an experiment, while dependent variables are variables that change as a result of an experiment. In other words, independent variables are what you change, and dependent variables are the results of the experiment.
the independent variable controls the dependent variables
Independent variables are those that you change in an experiment. Dependent variables are the ones that you measure in an experiment. Dependent variables are influenced by the independent variables that you change, so they are dependent upon the independent variable. Generally, experiments should have only one independent variable.
In a controlled experiment, the Independent variable refers to the variable that is manipulated or altered. The dependent variable, meanwhile, is the result of the experiment.
Dependent and independent
the only variables in an experiment are the independent variables [the thing in an experiment your going to change. and the dependent variables [the thing in an experiment your going to measure.
It is easier to control independent variables
The test variable (independent variable) controls the outcome variable (dependent variable).
Independent and dependent does go under experiment on the scientific method.
It is important because ............
Independent and dependent variables are the variables that change during the course of an experiment. An example might be an experiment on how temperature affects plant growth. Changing the temperature is the independent variable, while the level of plant growth that results is the dependent variable.
Both variables and both part of an experiment.
