In simplest terms, a dependent variable is the a variable that depends on another variable.
For example, if you are doing a Biology lab, you may measure the length of time you leave something in acid with the change that it makes in the mass of an object. The change in mass is a variable, and it is dependent on the length of time you leave the object in the acid - so it is the dependent variable.
