An independent variable is what you change during an experiment, and a dependent variable is what gets changed.
for example, if you are monitoring temperature vs size of plants.
Everyday you change the temperature, and then record the size of the plants.
Therefore, the temperature is the ind. variable and the size of the plants is the dep. variable.
Dependent variable is the variable that can be measured. However, the independent variable is the variable that changes in the two groups.

Science Answer: The Dependent Variable is the Variable that changes automatically during the experiment when the Independent Variable is changed by somebody. :D
Independent variable could be the number (or spacing or size) of the laces and the dependant variable is distance. Possibly levels of the independent variable could be ranges of number of laces.
the experimental variable is like the independent variable, which is the only thing you can change in a science experiment, and the dependent variables are the things that stay the same.
Dependent, Independent and Controlled
independent, dependent, controlled
controlled variable, dependent variable and independent variable
Independent and dependent are types of variables. These variables are used mostly in science and math. When using independent variables you can control them dependent variables you cannot.
Independent what changes, dependent what
Dependent variable is the variable that can be measured. However, the independent variable is the variable that changes in the two groups.
You may be asking about dependent variables, as in a lab activity. There are also independent variables. The independent variable is the thing that is controlled or kept monitored by the scientist. The dependent variable is what occurs or changes as a result of the independent variable.

Independent and dependent variables are the variables that change during the course of an experiment. An example might be an experiment on how temperature affects plant growth. Changing the temperature is the independent variable, while the level of plant growth that results is the dependent variable.
Science Answer: The Dependent Variable is the Variable that changes automatically during the experiment when the Independent Variable is changed by somebody. :D
A well designed science fair project should have one independent variable, one dependent variable, and lots of factors that are held constant as you repeat the experiment several times to verify your results.
The control, the constant, the independent variable, and the dependent variable.
