What is an example of an dependent variables?
A dependent variable is a variable that you (the experimenter) do not change. It changes in response to the Independent variable, which is what you change.
For example:
Say I was growing two plants and I wanted to see how they would grow dependent upon how much light they received; I would have one in the dark and one in natural light. The independent variable is how much light they received, and the dependent variable is how much they will grow in response to how much light they get.
