Imagine this: Ava, Sophia, and Aiden are having a fun science day! Ava comes up with a cool experiment. She makes five paper helicopters, each with different wing lengths. With a big smile, she drops them from a height of two meters, one by one, for five trials each. Everyone is excited as they record the amount of time it takes for each helicopter to fall to the ground.

Can you tell us what the independent variable in Ava's experiment is?

• The way Ava drops the helicopters

• The time it takes for the helicopters to hit the floor

• The wing length of the helicopters

• The height from which Ava drops the helicopters
