The variable that you, as the experimenter, deliberately change or manipulate is known as the independent variable. This is the variable that you believe will have an effect on another variable, which is the dependent variable.
A variable that doesn't change in an experiment is called a constant. Constants are used to ensure that only one variable is being tested for its effect on the outcome of the experiment.
Control Variable
The variable that does not change in an experiment is called the control variable. It is used as a benchmark for comparison to observe the effects of the other variables being tested.
The variable that is intentionally changed in an experiment is called the independent variable. This variable is manipulated by the experimenter to observe its effects on the dependent variable, which is the outcome being measured.
An experiment is almost always designed so that two (and no more) things will change.-- You, the experimenter, will change one of them as you desire.-- That will cause a change in the other one, which you will carefully measure.
The dependent variable is the variable that can change in an experiment.
The variable that is intentionally changed in an experiment is called the independent variable.
Constant variable
A variable that doesn't change in an experiment is called a constant. Constants are used to ensure that only one variable is being tested for its effect on the outcome of the experiment.
Control Variable
the dependant variable
The variable that stays the same throughout the entire experiment is called the control.
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.
The variable that does not change in an experiment is called the control variable. It is used as a benchmark for comparison to observe the effects of the other variables being tested.

The variable that a scientist observes to change while conducting an experiment is called the independent variable. This is the variable that is deliberately manipulated by the scientist to observe its effect on the dependent variable.
