Independent variable: part of an experiment that is changed in a controlled manner.
Dependent variable: the effect that depends on the independent variable.

For example, an experiment measures how light (independent variable) affects plant growth (dependent variable). Every other component of plant growth is kept the same to isolate the effect the independent variable has on the dependent variable.

So, the independent variable is CHANGED while the dependent variable is OBSERVED
