Variables
ÞVariables are the factors that are changed and
measured during a scientific investigation
1. The independent variable
Þ Is the factor changed during the experiment by the
learner
ÞIs changed in constant intervals
ÞIs represented on the x-axis
X -axis
2. The dependent variable
ÞIs observed because it changes due to the change in
the independent variable.
ÞSo, the dependent variable is dependent on the
independent variable.
Þ because if the independent variable changes, it
affects the dependent variable
ÞRepresented on the Y axis.
