Key Stage 3
Meaning
The independent variable in an experiment is what you choose to change in order to test a hypothesis.
About the Independent Variable
- The independent variable is changed in order to see the effect on a dependent variable.
- The independent variable in an experiment is plotted on the x-axis of a graph.
Key Stage 4
Meaning
The independent variable in an experiment is the variable which is deliberately changed to test a hypothesis.
About the Independent Variable
- The independent variable is changed in order to see the effect on a dependent variable.
- The independent variable in an experiment is usually plotted on the x-axis of a graph.
