| Independent Variable and dependent | mathematical tools used in an experiment to keep track of what's going on. They allow you to maintain control over your experiment in a quantitative way. That is, using them, you will be able to measure your results and draw accurate conclusions |
| Independent variable | is what you are changing yourself within your experiment to find out particular outcomes, most commonly in experiments temperature or time tend to be the |
| variables | is any factor, trait, or condition that can exist in differing amounts or types. An experiment usually has three kinds of variables: independent, dependent, and controlled |
| Dependent Variable | is what changes as a result of the independent variable, hence the fact its DEPENDENT upon the other variable. for example if you were to alter the amount of sunlight (independent variable) different batches of the same plant were exposed to, the your dependent variable would most likely be the growth rate of the plants as the rate of growth depends upon the amount of sun the plants are exposed to |
| Control | is simply the same experiment without the interference of the independent variable. so in the example it would be the natural growth rate of the plants without you changing the exposure of light. having the control is important because it is what you compare your overall results to in order to see the effect of the independent variable. |
