Question

Jill wants to conduct an investigation to determine what happens to the temperature of water if it is left in the sun. She places a container of water the sun and inserts a thermometer. She reads

the thermometer every minute and records the temperature. What is the responding (dependent) variable?
amount of sunlight
temperature of the water
amount of water
time in the sun

Answer 1

Temperature of the water

Step-by-step explanation:

A dependant variable is something that is affected/changed by the independent variable. The temperature of the water is changed by the amount of sunlight and time in the sun changing.

Hopefully that helps. xx
