Independent and Dependent Variables Drill: What are some steps to the scientific method? What is it used for?

Notebook Open up to your TOC and “Naming Variable in an Experiment” on page 5

Independent Vs Dependent Variables Independent Variables are the things you are changing in an experiment. The dependent variable changes as a result of changing the independent.

Independent Vs Dependent Variables EXAMPLE: If I change the amount of water a plant receives, the height of the pant will change. The independent variable is the water, because we are changing it. The dependent variable is the height of the plant, because it is affected by the water.

Worksheet At the bottom of your worksheet, write in your independent and dependent variable you are using in your science project.
