Each time the independent variable is changed, the dependent variable is measured. If the independent variable is time, the experimenter chooses an appropriate interval between measurements. This same methodology is used whenever the independent variable is not something the experimenter actually has in his control.
A dependent variable is something that is measured in an experiment each time the independent variable is changed in order to gage the relationship between the two, if any is in existence. For example, if the time taken for a ball to fall from different heights was being measured, the independent variable (thing beig changed) is the height, and the dependent variable (thing that changes because of the independent variable) is the time taken for the ball to hit the ground.
An independent variable is a variable which, in the context of the experiment or the observations, can affect the dependent variable but is not affected by it. By contrast, the dependent variable is affected by changes in the independent variable. It is quite possible that there is no independent variable, as such, and each variable affects the other.
It is the thing that changes on each measurement in an experiment.
The dependent variable in a scientific experiment refers to the variable that is being measured or observed to determine the effect or relationship with the independent variable. It is called "dependent" because its value is believed to depend on the changes made to the independent variable.
The unit of each variable is dependent of what is being measured.
Each animal's individuality.
We used 3 kinds of soaps in the experiment, which each was an independent variable.
the independant variable is what you are changing in each test..

An independent variable is not affected by the change of another independent variable. To make an experiment, you generally try to change each independent variable in its turn, leaving other independent variables constant, getting the result (the dependent variable) which was chosen. The results can be exhibited as graphs, where the independent variable serves as abscissa or a parameter, or tables
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.
