What is the dependent and independent variable?

So I have to test this claim saying that this brand of paper plates are the strongest and im testing them against this other brand...so im going to keep piling the same kind of food until each plate wilts or bends.... What is the dependent and independent variable? and things i would keep constant when doing the experiment?What is the dependent and independent variable?
Independent variable - What you're changing in the experiment

Dependent variable - What change you're measuring in the experiment.

Constants - Things that remain the same among all the experiments



So the IV is the brand of paper plate, since you're changing it.

How much food each plates hold is the DV, since you're measuring it.

The type of food is the constant since it's the same among all the plates.
