10. What is a… Constant Independent Variable Dependent Variable
Science Thoughts 8/11
Constant – stays the same throughout the experiment Independent Variable – thing being tested, ONE thing that changes Dependent Variable – result of the change of the independent variable, what is measured – DEPENDS on the independent
