Variables in experiments
When doing experiments, scientists identify variables to make sure they keep focused and make sure the experiment works. Scientists pay attention to the following variables:
Independent variable is what the scientist changes.
Dependent variable is what the scientist measures.
Constant variable is what the scientist keeps the same.
For example:
Experiment: What happens to a plant when it gets no water?
Independent variable – amount of water the plants receives, one group of plants gets water, while the other group of plants will get no water. There is only one independent variable in an experiment.
Dependent variable – the scientist will measure the health of the plants by measuring the colour of the leaves and the limpness of the leaves.
Constant variables – the scientist will make sure the plants are the same kind and the same size. The scientist will also make sure the pots are the same and the kind of soil are the same kind of soil.
