An independent variable can be changed itself and does not vary if other items around it are changed.
A dependant variable changes it value in response to changes in other items.
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.
The two types of variables in an experiment are independent variables, which are controlled by the experimenter and can be manipulated, and dependent variables, which are the outcome or response that is measured in the experiment and may change in response to the 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 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.
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.
