The independent variable is the variable that is purposely changed or manipulated by the researcher. The dependent variable is the variable that is measured or observed as a result of changes in the independent variable. In other words, the independent variable causes a change in the dependent variable.

What variable is part of the experiment that is effected by the independent variable?

The variable that is measured or observed as a result of changes in the independent variable is called the dependent variable.

What is a dependent variable that is in an experiment?

The independent variable in the experiment is the variable that occurs on its own and does not need anything for it to change, this that is why it is Independent e.g. years, time etc So the Dependant variable is the variable that relies on the independent variable to change and is normally represented on the Y axis. For example, if you had a graph that showed the amount of miles a car travelled over a certain time, the time is always going on and wont stop so its independent. The miles travelled depended upon the time, if the time did not go on the amount of miles travelled also couldn't go on, so it was dependant on the time to change for it to change. So it is the dependant variable.


Which is the part of the experiment that is the measurable outcome?

This is the variable which changes as a result of what you change in the experiment. If you change the height from which you drop a ball, you may observe the height to which it bounces. The height of the bounce is the outcome variable.


What is the part of an experiment affected by the independent variable?

The part of an experiment that is affected by the independent variable is the dependent variable. This variable is measured or observed to see how it changes in response to the manipulation of the independent variable.

Independent and dependentare types of these?

Independent and dependant are types of variables in an experiment. The independent variable is what is being manipulated within the experiment and the dependant variable is the result of that change.

Difference between dependant and independant variable?

dependent: factors of a experiment that scientist observe, and can be changed by the outcome of the independent variable independent: a factor of a experiment that changes because you change it on purpose


What is the difference between a dependant and independent variable in an experiment?

The independent variable is what you did differently in the experiment compared to the controlled experiment; it's also called manipulated variable. The dependent variable is what changed in the experiment as a result of the independent variable; it's also called the responding variable x hope this helps :)


What factor that is manipulated in an experiment to change the dependant variable is the what?

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

Math: Independent variable is what you change. Dependent variable is what you measure.

What is a factor that changes in an experiment due to the changes in the independent variable?

Changes in the independent variable will cause changes in the dependent variable.
