Not exactly sure what you mean by "can't change."

However, I if I do understand you correctly, the dependent variable CAN change. The dependent variable will change according to the independent variable's value and overall effect.

For example, in an experiment involving water's effect on plants, the dependent variable may be the height of the plant or the glucose produced. Based on the amount of the independent variable (represented on the x axis of a data graph), the dependent variable will increase or decrease. In this case, both dependent values (glucose and height) would probably increase.

What is the dependent variable in a project?

the dependent variable cant change the independent varible, but the independent variable can change the dependent varible. (eg: Bob wants to see if the new baseball pitching machine throws better fastballs then his friend. The baseball pitching machine(independent) could change a fastball(dependent), but a fastball(dependent) cant change the baseball pitching machine(independent).


What causes change in a dependent variable?

The dependent variable is dependent on the independent variable, so when the independent variable changes, so does the dependent variable.


Is the independent variable the one that does not change?

No, as the name Variable implies, it can and does change. Since it is 'Independent' its change is not a direct effect of the change of any other Variable. Additionally, the independent variable depends on the dependent variable.

What are independent and dependent variables?

The independent variable is also called an experimental variable. It is the variable being manipulated in the experiment in order to show the effect on the dependent variable. The dependent variable is also called the response variable. It is the variable being observed in the experiment. A change in the independent variable is what causes the change (if any) in the dependent variable, which is the purpose of the experiment.
