The independent variable
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! :)
Almost always but at the same time far less informative.
a controlled experiment is when you keep everything the same besides one thing. the one "thing" you change is called a munipulated variable.
A control variable means an experiment that does not change, and it's used to validate results. For example, one want to test how two plants would grow, one needs to give each plant the same amount of water at the same time.
yes. AKA the independent variable
The dependent variable is the one you are interested in. It's the one you are looking at, to see if it changes. For example: If I want to see if water evaporates faster when it is hotter, I am changing the independent variable, temperature, and hoping to see a difference in the dependent variable, the rate of water evaporation. I would be keeping the controlled variable of water volume the same between each repeat of the experiment, because that could inadvertently change the dependent variable, which I don't want.
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. Any variable that is kept the same is a constant variable (although it is a contradiction in terms); any variable - usually only one - that depends on the independent variable is a dependent variable.

The variable that is kept the same in an experiment is known as a controlled variable, not an independent or dependent variable. The independent variable is the one that is manipulated by the researcher to observe its effect, while the dependent variable is the outcome that is measured in response to changes in the independent variable. Controlled variables help ensure that the results are due to the independent variable alone.
