ANSWER:

IV, Type of dish detergent. DV, height of foam. CV, type of container, amount of water in container, temperature of water, time the container is agitated.

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent variable(IV)- what you change during the experiment.
dependent variable(DV)- what you're measuring during an experiment. The dependent variable is DEPENDENT because it's results DEPEND on the independent variable at play.
Constant variables(CV)- things that do not change in order to isolate the tested variables as much as possible.
