Question : How does the shape of an ice cube affect how quickly it takes to melt?





Would the shape of the ice cube be an independent variable ?

Yes.



The shape of the ice cube is independent because it is controlled by the experimenter before the experiment even starts.



The time for the ice cube to melt is obviously dependent on what shape was chosen.
