The dependent variable changes as a result of changes in the independent variable.
Put another way,
The Independent Variable is manipulated, and is known as the changed variable.
The Dependent Variable is responding, and is known as the result.
Example : In an experiment to test the effect of heating on evaporation, the various temperatures would be the independent variable, which will be changed by the experimenter. The amount of water that evaporates in a given time is the dependent variable, which is the data sought in the experiment.
Dependent variable is your data, independent variable is what you are testing. Ex. Sunlight would be the independent variable and a plants growth would be the dependent variable.
independent variable is the one you control. the dependent variable depends on the indepdendent variable (the results). on the graph independent in on the bottom and dependent is on the side
An independent variable is when you do not control what happens In an experiment,however; a dependent variable is when you actually control the experiment,
An independent variable is the variable you can change in an experiment. On a graph, it's on the X-axis. A dependent variable is the result of changing the independent variable. It is literally dependent on it. The dependent variable goes on the Y-axis.
The independent variable is the variable that is manipulated. This affects the dependent variable and the results of the experiment.
Dependent variable is your data, independent variable is what you are testing. Ex. Sunlight would be the independent variable and a plants growth would be the dependent variable.

In an experiment the independent is the stimulus, the thing controlled or applied by the experimenter. The dependent variable is the response, the reaction to the independent variable.
A dependent variable can vary as the experiment goes on. The independent will not change during the experiment.
A dependent variable is a variable whose value depends on the value of some other variable - which may be independent or may also be dependent.
The independent variable is the variable that is altered by the scientist, and the dependent variable's value is dependent on the value of the independent variable.
