The manipulated variable is the variable which researches change, while the measured variable is the variable that changes as a result of the manipulated variable.

Consider this simplified question: Do flowers grow better with more water?

Researchers plant flowers and put 10mL in one pot, 20mL in another, and 30mL in another. This is the manipulated variable.

Researchers measure how tall the flowers are. The height of the flowers is the measured variable, because it changes as a result of the amount of water added.
