An "Indepndent Variable" is something in the expieriment that can be changed. And a "Dependent Variable" is something that doesn't change.
The dependent (or responding) variable is the one that is observed and likely changes in response to the independent variable.
the independent variable controls the dependent variables
controle depenent independent
In an experiment, the independent variable is manipulated or controlled by the researcher, while the dependent variable is measured to see the effect of the independent variable. The independent variable is the cause, while the dependent variable is the effect. Changes in the independent variable are expected to cause changes in the dependent variable.
The test variable (independent variable) controls the outcome variable (dependent variable).
Experiment controlled
It depends on what you are looking at. If you want to look at changes in variable Y when a variable X is changed, then X is the independent variable and Y is the dependent. But if you want to look at changes in X which accompany changes in Y, then Y is the independent variable and X is the dependent.
in the math question a person weighs 100 lbs on earth weighs 16.6 on the moon which the varable and independent variable
what is a varable
well a independent variable is usually the one that is manipulated and is the x axis while the dependent is the one that depends on the independent and is the responding variable and the x-axis!A little saying i use is dry mix/dependent,responding,y axis/manipulated variable,independent,x axis.tale the first letter of all of that and you get dry mix.
The independent variable is the thing you change, the dependent variable is the variable that changes because of the independent variable, it could also be referred to as the effect, and the control group is the constant, the thing that stays the same and the variable that you compare your results to.
Something you would either keep the same or change during a practical, to ensure the experiment is a fair test.
