Image result for what is the difference between the independent and the dependent variables in an experiment

Variables are given a special name that only applies to experimental investigations. One is called the dependent variable and the other the independent variable. The independent variable is the variable the experimenter changes or controls and is assumed to have a direct effect on the dependent variable.
