Q9) What is the independent variable in this experiment? Why is this variable independent?


Q10) What is the dependent variable in this experiment? Why is this a dependent variable?

Q11) What variables are controlled in this experiment? Why are/is these/this variable control variable(s)?

Q10. The dependent variable in this experiment is the amount of growth of the corn. It is this because the growth depends on what the scientist did on the corn.

Q11. The variable controlled in this experiment is the amount of sun and water. These two variables never change so this is why it is the control.
