You need to describe the experiment; how else can anyone know what is being manipulated?
In a tomato plant experiment, the manipulated variable is the factor that the researcher intentionally changes, such as the amount of sunlight, water, or fertilizer given to the plant. This variable is controlled by the experimenter to observe its effects on the plant's growth and development.
Fifteen turtles are fed iceberg lettuce and vitamins, while another fifteen turtles are fed only iceberg lettuce
The independent variable in this experiment is the wavelength of the light. This is because it is being manipulated or changed by the researcher to observe its effects on the rate of photosynthesis in the plant.
The independent variable in an experiment is the one that is manipulated in order to test a hypothesis. There will also be a control used in order to make sure that the variable is doing what it is supposed to.
In a science experiment, the independent variable is the factor that is deliberately changed or manipulated by the researcher to observe its effects. The dependent variable, on the other hand, is the outcome or response that is measured and is expected to change in response to the manipulation of the independent variable. For example, in an experiment testing the effect of sunlight on plant growth, the amount of sunlight (independent variable) is varied, while the plant growth (dependent variable) is measured.
It's what changes when you alter the manipulated variable. Examples: In an experiment testing how tall anplant grows in different amounts of sunlight - the manipulated variable is the sunlight, the responding variable is the height of the plant. In an experiment testing how much carbon dioxide produced when different amounts of baking soda react to vinegar - the manip. variable is the baking soda amount, the resp. variable is the carbon dioxide. In an experiment testing how different vitamins affect a person - the manip. variable is the vitamin, the resp. variable is the effect on the person.
In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that is manipulated, for example plant fertilizer. The dependent variable is what is observed and measured as a result of the independent variable, for example plant height. Controlled variables are factors that are kept constant for the entire experiment, such as temperature and moisture, so that the observed results are due only to the independent variable. So in an experiment measuring the effect of fertilizer on plant growth, the independent variable would be the fertilizer, the independent variable would be the height measured at specific intervals, and the controlled variable of temperature and moisture would be kept the same for both groups.
The object you are testing in a hypothesisThe Independant or manipulated variable is what 'I' or you are changing....if you are measuring the effect of fertilizer on plant height, the Independant variable is the presence/absence of fertilizer.
In a science experiment, the independent variable is the one you change. For example: if you are doing an experiment on the impact of different types of soil on plant growth, the different types of soil would be your independent variable. The dependent variable is the outcome, or whatever the independent variable directly impacts. In this case, the dependent variable is the height of each plant.
the independent of the tomato plant is the leaf and the dependent variable is the root
The independent variable is the factor that is manipulated or changed in an experiment to observe its effects on a dependent variable. It is considered the cause in a cause-and-effect relationship. In an experiment, researchers deliberately alter the independent variable to test its impact on the outcome. For example, in a study examining the effect of fertilizer on plant growth, the amount of fertilizer used would be the independent variable.
No, having one plant with light and another without light would not be considered a control experiment. A control experiment would involve having a third plant with no changes made to serve as a baseline for comparison.
