The independent variable is the thing in the expeirment that you purposly change.
If I took different sizes of paper airplanes and counducted an expieremnt to see which one went the farthest, the size of the airplanes would be the INDEPENDENT VARIABLE while the distance of flight would be the RESPNDING VARIABLE
P.S- there can only be one independent variable in a controlled expierement.

A control receives no Independent Variable (or IV) and a constant stays the same throughout an experiement.
The independent variable.
Changes in the independent variable are independent of changes in any other variable,
The independent variable.
the dependent variable changes with the independent variable. the independent variable only changes when changed by the experimenter. Time is usually an independent variable.
The Independent variable is the one you control. The dependent variable is controlled by the Independent Variable.
The independent variable of an experiment is the variable that you change, and the dependent variable is the result of the independent variable.
Math: Independent variable is what you change. Dependent variable is what you measure.
An independent variable is a factor that doesn't rely on anything, unlike the dependent variable (which relies on the independent variable). The most common independent variable is time.
the anwer is a variable( the thng that will change over time in the experiment
