No, as the name Variable implies, it can and does change. Since it is 'Independent' its change is not a direct effect of the change of any other Variable. Additionally, the independent variable depends on the dependent variable.

Does the independent or dependent variable change?

The Independent variable is the one you control. The dependent variable is controlled by the Independent Variable.


What is experimental Variable?

The independent variable is the one variable that you change in your experiment


What does independent variables in science?

Hello, Well what you would be looking for is what an independent variable means. Assuming you understand what a variable is and a dependant variable is, here goes: An independant variable is the variable which you change in an experiment. Note you can only have 1 variable that can change in an experiment and more than one independent variable will result in an unfair experiment. An example is an experiment looking at the growth of trees in the Dark, in a dimly lit room and in the direct sun. The independant variable is the location of the experiment, because this is what is being changed. Simply: The Independent Variable is the variable that is independent and you change. The dependant variable is what changes when the independent variable changes. To conduct an experiment, you will have an independent variable and change that to see how the dependant variable changes with the independent one. Hope I Helped


What are independent and dependent variables?

The independent variable is also called an experimental variable. It is the variable being manipulated in the experiment in order to show the effect on the dependent variable. The dependent variable is also called the response variable. It is the variable being observed in the experiment. A change in the independent variable is what causes the change (if any) in the dependent variable, which is the purpose of the experiment.


What is the name for something that changes during an experiment?

All factors in an expermient are called variables. The variable you can change yourself is called the independent variable; the one you expect to change and monitor accordingly (and where you get your results from) is called the dependent variable.

What is a dependent and independent varibale?

An independent variable is the one that you change in the experiment. A dependent variable is the one that you measure, it changes depending on the independent variable.

What is the variable you control?

The Independent Variable is the one you change (Independent = I change)The Dependent Variable is the one you measure (It depends on something else)The Control is the one you keep the same! :)


Independent variable is known as?

The independent variable is the one that you change in an experiment. The dependent variable changes because of the independent variable. You control the independent and observe the dependent.


Factor that is changed it is a dependent variable or independent variable?

Its the independent one; because you change it, the dependent variable will be affected.


Is a dependent variable the factor that stays the same in an experiment?

No, a dependent variable is the factor that is being measured or observed in an experiment in response to changes in the independent variable. It is the outcome or result that is affected by the independent variable.


Which variable will you change in your investigation?

I will change the independent variable in my investigation. This variable is the one I manipulate or control to observe its effect on the dependent variable.

Why does the dependent variable change as the independent variable changes into a linear relationship?

The independent variable is the variable that you change and manipulate in an equation. This causes the dependant variable to change.


What is the dependent and independent in a experiment?

The independent variable of an experiment is the variable that you change, and the dependent variable is the result of the independent variable.
