A dependent variable is the variable being tested in a scientific experiment.The dependent variable is 'dependent' on the independent variable. As the experimenter changes the independent variable, the change in the dependent variable is observed and recorded.For example, a scientist is testing the effect of light and dark on the behavior of moths by turning a light on and off. The independent variable is the amount of light and the moth's reaction is the dependent variable.
Pounds is a unit. Amount of pounds sold could be an independent variable (and money made being the dependent variable). On the other hand, amount of pounds sold could be the dependent variable, and time could be the dependent variable. Pounds is just a unit.

The controlled variable is the penny. The independent variable is the water. The dependent variable is the amount of water able to fit on the penny.
The dependent variable would be the amount of gas produced by the favorite beverage. It is the variable that is being measured and is expected to change in response to the manipulation of the independent variable.
The dependent variable in a static electricity experiment could be the amount of charge transferred, the strength of the electric field, or the distance of the spark produced. It is the variable that is measured and affected by changes in the independent 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.

The independent variable is the number of tickets purchased and the dependent variable is the amount of money spent.
The controlled variable is the penny. The independent variable is the water. The dependent variable is the amount of water able to fit on the penny.
The independent variable for making slime could be the type and amount of ingredients used (e.g. glue, borax, food coloring). The dependent variable would be the resulting texture and consistency of the slime produced.
Independent variable: the amount of fertilizer applied to the plants. Dependent variable: the growth of the plants, typically measured by height or biomass.
