The independent variable is the one that you change in an experiment. The dependent variable changes because of the independent variable. You control the independent and observe the dependent.
In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that is manipulated by the experimenter in order to observe and measure how it affects the dependent variable. For example, an experiment in which the experimenter wants to observe and measure the effect of force on the acceleration of an object, force would be the independent variable and acceleration would be the dependent variable. The experimenter would apply different amounts of force to an object, and then observe and record the object's acceleration with each amount of force. On a graph, the independent variable would be on the x-axis, and the dependent variable would be on the y-axis.
Yes, independant variables are the variables that are changed in an experiment to observe the results, called the dependant 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.)
The dependent variable answers the question: "What do I observe", in other words, if a teacher is evaluating the results of students tests who are taking tutoring, then the dependent variable would be the result on the exam of the kid who got tutored.
