Question

Suppose you want to test the hypothesis that plants grow taller when they receive more sunlight identify an independent variable and a dependent variable for this investigation

Answer 1

Independent variable- Putting the plant on sunlight

dependent- to see if plants grow taller when they receive more sunlight.


A independent variable is what you change

A dependent variable- is what you observe

Answer 2

Answer: Independent variable is amount of sunlight

Dependent variable is height of plants

Step-by-step explanation:

An experiment is performed in which the hypothesis says that plants grow taller when they receive more sunlight. The growth of plants depends on the amount of sunlight received.

In this case the independent variable is amount of sunlight that can change in intensity. This factor can be controlled during the experiment.

The dependent variable is growth of plant or tallness of plants which can change as the intensity of light will change.
