What is the meaning of independent and dependent variable is science?

i have a really big test next week and i need to know the meaning of that i no that an independent variable means that its what the scientist does or something like that soo i really need to knoowww!!!What is the meaning of independent and dependent variable is science?
the independent variable very rarely changes in an experiment. the dependent variable DEPENDS on the other variable to work.What is the meaning of independent and dependent variable is science?
see if this helps:



Independent variable is something I change...so in other words it's the variable in the experiment that is being manipulated.



Dependent variable is something that depends on the independent variable that I am changing. Dependent variable changes because of the Independent variable.



Another way of looking at it is that Independent variable is the cause and Dependent variable is the effect.



I hope this helps...good luck on your test!!!What is the meaning of independent and dependent variable is science?
The indepandant variable is what you will change in the experiment.



The dependant variable is what is changed BY the experiment.



So we're going to test the effect of a flame on water. We're going to see what happens to the temperature of the water if we apply the flame for 1min, 5mins, and 10mins



We're changing the length of time we apply the flame for so=INDEPENDANT VARIABLE



The temperature of the water will differ "depending" on what we're doing so=DEPENDANT VARIABLE
