I have 3 puppies from the same mother, Spot, Rusty, and Rex. They are the same size and weight. They get the same food, water, and exercise every day. I read that vitamins provide essential nutrients that help humans grow stronger. I want to find out if feeding dogs vitamins also helps them grow bigger. I don’t give Spot any vitamins. I give Rusty one vitamin pill a day, and I give Rex two pills a day. I weigh the puppies once a week to see if there’s a difference.
What is the independent variable in this experiment?
Number of vitamins
The mother dog
Water
The weight of the dogs
