What is the scientific definition of an independent variable?

An independent variable is not affected by the change of another
independent
variable. To make an experiment, you generally try to change
each independent variable in its turn, leaving other independent
variables constant, getting the
result (the dependent variable) which was chosen. The results
can be exhibited as graphs, where the independent variable serves
as abscissa
or a parameter, or tables

What are some facts about independent and dependent variable?

An independent variable is a variable which, in the context of
the experiment or the observations, can affect the dependent
variable but is not affected by it. By contrast, the dependent
variable is affected by changes in the independent variable. It is
quite possible that there is no independent variable, as such, and
each variable affects the other.
