I create an experiment to measure which brand of sponge can absorb the most water. I use 3 different brands of sponge, 3 of the same beakers filled with 30 mL of water from the faucet at room temperature. What is the independent, dependent, and control variable. Select 3 options.

• the water is the independent variable

• the brands of sponges are the independent variable

• the beakers are the control variable

• the water from the faucet is the dependent variable
