Question

I want to design an experiment to see if drinking coffee makes students

score higher on tests. What is the independent variable in this
experiment?

Answer 1

The independent variable will be the scores

Answer 2

Answer: students drinking coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

The dependent variable is the one that DEPENDS on what is about to happen. In this situation, whether the students scored higher DEPENDS on if they drank coffee.

So the independent variable would be the fact that they drank coffee.

Hope this helps!
