Independent Variables are which type?!

• all the parts of the experiment that depend on something else occurring

• all the parts of the experiment that are constant or the same

• the one part of the lab that is changed or manipulated to test a hypothesis

• the one part of the lab that is kept the same so that we can compare it with the change in the experiment.

Dependent Variables are which of the following?!

• The parts of the experiment that respond to the change in the activity.

• The parts of the experiment that remain the same in the activity.

• The parts of the lab that are changed in order to measure something else.

• The portion of the lab that is used to determine the hypothesis.

Controlled variables

• are all the parts of the lab that are modified.

• are all the parts of the lab that are responding to the manipulated variable.

• are the parts of the lab that remain the same and constant throughout the lab.

• are the parts of the lab that are used to determine the conclusion.
