A dependent variable depends on the independent variable. If you are doing an experiment about how temperature affects the heat of water then the independent variable would be the temperature, as that is what you are going to change, and the dependent variable the water as the temperature of the water depends on the temperature surrounding it.
The Temperature is the Independent Variable (50 degrees, 100 Degrees etc.) Whatever happens as a result of the temperature change is the dependent variable.
The dependent variable is the variable that the researcher does not control. The researcher will change one variable called the independent variable (ex. temperature, amount of sunlight, amount of food, etc.) and then observe the corresponding dependent variable (ex. reaction of organism, amount of plant growth, swimming speed, etc.)
Whether or not the plant is exposed to sunlight. Independent variables are manipulated by the experimentor, dependent variables react to the change in the independent variable.
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.

The independent variable in an controlled experiment is what you are changing (for example, amount of water or sunlight a plant gets). The dependent variable changes because of the independent variable. Its the outcome of the independent variable.
If you measure the temperature every hour, then time is the independent variable (value), and temperature is the dependent variable (value).
Dependent Variable the independent variable is the one you change to get the dependent variable. The control group is the thing that you leave the same throughout your experiment. Hint: You don't want too many independent variables, it will mess up the experiment.

When conducting scientific experiments, the researcher manipulates an "independent variable" (i.e., some physical parameter that can be controlled) in order to measure the effects of such manipulation on a "dependent variable" (i.e., the results of changing the physical parameter of interest). For example, one could lower the temperature in a refrigerator (the temperature being an independent variable) and wait to observe when water left in the refrigerator turns to ice (the change from liquid water to the solid form being the dependent variable). Thus, the change in the dependent variable depends on the manipulation of the independent variable. The independent variable is the variable you change, the dependant variable is what changes as a result of what you change.
Whether or not the plant is exposed to sunlight. Independent variables are manipulated by the experimentor, dependent variables react to the change in the independent variable.
A dependent variable is a factor in an experiment that is influenced by another factor. An example might help to clarify. You are performing an experiment in which you are observing how sunlight affects plant height. Plant height is the dependent variable because it is dependent upon how much sunlight the plant receives. Sunlight is an example of an independent variable. It is not influenced by anything in this experiment, but may be changed to observe its effect on the dependent variable. It is possible to have more than one dependent variable in an experiment, but only one independent variable.
Temperature can be both an independent variable, where it is manipulated to observe its effect on other variables, or a dependent variable, where it is measured as an outcome of other factors. The role of temperature as a dependent variable or independent variable depends on the specific research context.
