EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -A dependent variable is what you measure and what is affected during the experiment. The dependent variable responds to the independent variable, it is called as dependent because it “depends” on the independent variable.

Detailed explanation-2: -An independent variable is the variable you manipulate, control, or vary in an experimental study to explore its effects. It’s called “independent” because it’s not influenced by any other variables in the study. Independent variables are also called: Explanatory variables (they explain an event or outcome)

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: An independent variable is exactly what it sounds like. It is a variable that stands alone and isn’t changed by the other variables you are trying to measure. For example, someone’s age might be an independent variable.

Detailed explanation-4: -The independent variable, also known as the experimental treatment, is the difference or change in the experimental conditions that is chosen by the scientist (the cause).

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
