The term 'independent variable' is normally used to refer to the variable that you are investigating in an experiment. A common colloquial definition is 'The variable you change' which is helpful, but not always clear. AQA (A UK examination board) defines it in the following way 'The independent variable is the variable for which the values are changed or selected by the investigator'
Aims of experiments are often written in the form 'How does X affect Y?' X would be the independent variable and Y the dependent variable.
The independent variable.
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.
The Independent variable is the one you control. The dependent variable is controlled by the Independent Variable.
independent variable
In an investigation, the variable that you change is called the "independent variable." It is the factor that is manipulated to observe its effect on another variable, known as the dependent variable. The independent variable is crucial for establishing cause-and-effect relationships in experiments.

independent variable
Another name for a responding variable is the dependent variable. This variable is the one that is measured or observed in an experiment to assess the effect of changes made to the independent variable. The responding variable changes in response to the manipulation of the independent variable.
The variable deliberately changed in an experiment is called the independent variable. This variable is manipulated by the researcher to observe its effects on the dependent variable, which is the outcome or response being measured. By controlling and changing the independent variable, researchers can determine its influence on the dependent variable.

the independent variable
The dependent variable changes as a result of a change in the independent variable. (Hence the name "dependent")
independent variable called also predictor variables,explanatory variables,manipulated variables etc.

The name of the factor that scientists change in an experiment is called the independent variable. It is the variable that is deliberately manipulated or adjusted to observe its effect on the dependent variable, which is the outcome being measured.
