The independent variable is the part of the experiment that is being tested or the part that is changed by the person doing the experiment. The dependent variable is the part of the experiment that is affected by the independent variable.

the independent variable is the thing you change

the dependant variable is the things that changes as a result of what you change

the controlled variables are things you keep the same in evey test

e.g. does water affect plant growth??

independent - the amount of water you feed the plant

dependant - whether the plant grows and by how much

controlled - the amount of light, nutrients, the type of plant etc...

The 'blank' in an experiment is better known as a control. The control is used for comparison of the experiment by showing what it would be like under normal circumstances.

In a experiment what is the independent variable?

The independent variable is the item that varies through out the experiment. The dependent variable is what changes due, and that is what we get our information from. For example: Patrick had a science experiment. He had 2 cups filled with dirt. Cup A had more water than Cup B. Each cup held the same type of seed and were both put in equal sunlight at equal amounts of times. What is the independent variable in this experiment? Answer: The water. The dependent variable would be the plant growth. *An easy tip to remember this is using the scientific title. "The effect of _______ on _______" The first blank is always the INDEPENDENT Variable, thus making the second blank a DEPENDENT. So in this experiment it would be "The effect of AMOUNTS OF WATER on PLANT GROWTH." This shows that the Independent Variable = Water Dependent = Plant Growth

In an experiment dealing with distance versus velocity which is the independent variable?

It will depend on the experiment. The answer is unclear because the question was not specific enough. There are experiments where either can be the independent variable. Your question is a bit vague, but there might be a solution. The best solution would be if you had your raw data, or remembered the structure of the experiment. Were you measuring velocity at specific distances, or were you measuring distances from set velocities? The set/specific values are your independent variables, and therefore the other quantity depends upon what you measured at those set intervals. The other possibility is in the wording of the question. If it is from your teacher, it is likely that the distance is the independent variable, as older terminology for graphing that uses versus, implies (not a guarantee, see below) that the independent variable is first (versus) the dependent, or x vs. y. Since the question states distance vs. velocity it can be assumed (again, not a guarantee) that distance is the independent and velocity is the dependent. You should ask for clarification of the whole versus phrasing, as some people don't know the order, and it is confusing. For example I had a high school teacher (and many other teachers) who stressed independent vs. dependent when graphing, because x comes before y. I had a college professor who stressed dependent vs. independent as the wording, because slope is y over x. So which is it, is the question; therefore it really is a poor way of describing the graph of the data. Regardless of which word goes before the versus, the independent is graphed on the x-axis, and the dependent is graphed on the y-axis. Next time ask for clarification phrased as _________ as a function of ___________. The first blank is of course the dependent variable, and the last blank is the independent variable.
