controlled experiment

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 easy way to think of independent and dependent variables is, when you’re conducting an experiment, the independent variable is what you change, and the dependent variable is what changes because of that. You can also think of the independent variable as the cause and the dependent variable as the effect.
Detailed explanation-3: -The dependent, or responding variable, is the factor that may change as a result of changes made in the independent variable.
Detailed explanation-4: -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).
