Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The independent variable is the variable that is deliberately changed by the scientist. The dependent variable is the one observed during the experiment. The dependent variable is the data we collect during the experiment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Then you can figure out which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable: (Independent variable) causes a change in (Dependent Variable) and it isn’t possible that (Dependent Variable) could cause a change in (Independent Variable).

Detailed explanation-3: -The independent variable is the one that is changed by the scientist. To insure a fair test, a good experiment has only ONE independent variable. As the scientist changes the independent variable, he or she records the data that they collect.

Detailed explanation-4: -The independent variable is controlled or changed only by the researcher. This factor is often the research question/hypothesis behind the outcome of the experiment.
