1.Independent variable: This is the factor that is deliberately changed or manipulated by the experimenter to test its effect on the dependent variable (in this case, plant growth). The liquid (water, apple juice, or milk) is the variable that is being varied in the experiment, as each plant is given a different liquid. Therefore, it is the independent variable.

2.Dependent variable: This is what you measure or observe as a result of the manipulation of the independent variable. In this experiment, the dependent variable is the growth of the plants, which is likely measured by f...
