A controlled variable is one which you try to keep constant. The independent variable is the on that you change. The dependent variable is the one you measure.
For instance, how much will a drink cool down in one minute when you add a certain number of ice cubes to it?
The independent variable is the number of ice cubes. The dependent variable is the temperature drop.
There are many possible controlled variables: the starting temp of the drink, the size of the ice cubes, the type of glass, the air temperature, and so on.

What is the difference between the independent variable and the experimental variable?
the independent variable is changed, and the experimental value measure. So you control the independent variable and change it to measure the results
What is the difference between dependent and controlled variables?
The controlled variable is the one that you chose to change while the dependant is the variable that changes because it is effected by the controlled variable
Difference between independent and dependent?
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
What is the difference between dependent and independent varibles?
An independent variable can be any of a given set of values while a dependent variable is represented as a function of another variable.
The difference between independent and dependent variable?
i think depednant variable is what youre gonna keep the same and independent variable is what youre changing , hope that helped!.....
What is the difference between an independent variable and a dependent variable in an expeirement?
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.
What is the difference between a factor and variable?
A factor of an experiment is a controlled independent variable; a variable whose the differences between means for different levels of one factor.
What the difference between a variable and control?
The difference between a controlled variable and a variable is in their state. A controlled variable is something which is rigid and constant while a variable is liable to change and inconsistent.
What is the difference between the experimental variable and the controlled variable?

What is the difference between dependent and controlled variables?

What is the difference between a variable being tested and a variable being controlled?
The difference between these both is that the control is what stays the same in an experiment and the variable is what changes.
What is the difference between control and controlled variable?
control is when nothing is done to the experiment and controlled variable is that you have control over the experiment.
What is a factor in a experiment that you measure to gather results?
It is a variable. The independent (manipulated) variable is the factor that is different between the control and experimental groups. The dependent variable is the difference resulting from the independent variable. The controlled variables are the factors that are not changed in the experiment between the control and experimental groups.
In a controlled experiment what group is the group that has one variable changed?
I believe the what your referring to is the independent variable (changed). This is chosen and it is the relationship between the change in the independent variable which will cause a change in the dependent variable.
Difference between independent and dependent?
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
What is the difference between the independent and dependent variables 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.
