Colleen waters the plants in her greenhouse once everyday. She wants to find out if the plants will grow more leaves if they are watered more often. She counts the number of leaves on each plant before she starts. She then continues to water half of each type of plant once daily, but she waters the other half of each type twice a day. What is the independent variable (test variable)? Group of answer choices

The independent variable is the thing you change in your experiment. Which would be the water in this case. So the answer is water.
