How do you pick out independent variables and dependent variables?

An Independent variable is what you control; you decide the focus of your experiment and what you control on the independent variable. Dependent variable is what you want to look at or find results for; you decide what you want to see from manipulating your independent variable.


What is the variable that you decide to change?

The variable that is intentionally changed in an experiment is called the independent variable. This is the variable that the researcher manipulates to observe its effect on another variable.


How do you find an independent variable?

An independent variable doesn't depend on anything else in the equation. YOU get to decide what it is, and it can be whatever you want. That's why it's called "independent" ... the only thing it depends on is YOUR whim.


What kind of variable is changed to determine how it will affect the dependent variable?

The dependant variable is what you can't change, or decide, and it is affected by the independent variable. EX. If you were to see which liquid is the slowest, the independent variable would be the liquids that you can choose, and the independent variable would be how fast or slow they move, because it depends on what liquids you chose.
