Since an hypothesis is a statement based on whether the independent variable will have an effect on the dependent variable, it is best to use the words if and then. Example: If water is added to a plant then it would grow.

Independent: The heat Dependent: The result
The dependent variable is the variable in the experiment that changes. For example if you were trying to figure out which of the three fertilizers works the best on flowers your dependent variable would be the fertilizer and the independent variable would be the flowers.

independent variable
The independent variable is what you are changing in the experiment to get varied results. The dependent variable is the result of what you have changed. So the dependent variable depends on the independent variable. For example, if you are experimenting with the effect of water on height of a plant, the different amounts of water that you give the plant is the independent variable. The height of the plant that you measure as the result of the water is the dependent variable.

Over 2,000 independent city-states spread around the Mediterranean and Black Sea littorals.
Ineqality
An independent variable in science is the part of an experiment that you are purposely changing. For example, if you were to do an experiment on what type of water is best for plants, then the "special water", which might be salt water is the independent variable.
