The video from MooMooMath and Science explains the difference between independent and dependent variables in a science experiment:
Independent Variable (Manipulated Variable):The variable you change in an experiment.
It can stand alone and is manipulated to observe its effect.
Example: In an experiment testing if car color affects inside temperature, the color of the car is the independent variable.
Dependent Variable (Responding Variable):
The variable you measure; it depends on the independent variable
Example: In the car color experiment, the temperature inside the car is the dependent variable.
Examples from the video:
Tree height and water: Water amount = independent; Tree height = dependent.
Bananas and blood pressure: Number of bananas = independent; Blood pressure = dependent.
Graphing Tip: Use "DRY MIX":
DRY = Dependent, Responding, Y-axis.
MIX = Manipulated, Independent, X-axis.
