You choose the values of the independent variable. The dependent variable is the one you measure.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

I will change a single independent variable at a time while keeping all other variables constant to accurately measure its effect on the dependent variable in an experiment.
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 of an experiment is the variable that you change, and the dependent variable is the result of the independent variable.
The Independent variable is the one you control. The dependent variable is controlled by the Independent Variable.
Math: Independent variable is what you change. Dependent variable is what you measure.
