Esther became interested in insulation while her parent’s new house was being built. She decided to determine which insulation transferred the least heat. She filled each of 5 jars half-full with water.
She sealed each jar with a plastic lid.Then she wrapped each jar with a different kind of insulation. She put the jars outside in the direct sunlight. Later, she measured the temperature of the water in each jar. What is the independent variable?
The type of insulation
The temperature of the water
Number of houses
The amount of sunlight
The type of variable that responds to the experiment and is what you measure or count to determine if your hypothesis is true.
