Starting to understand a little more.

People are different than plants in a lot of obvious ways like the fact that people have brains and you have to do different kinds of experiments to find different things. Plants however need different things that humans need to survive. Today we had to find out a little bit about different kinds of variables such as independent and dependent variables. We did a online experiment that I couldn't understand so I looked up the definitions of the following words.

So the independent variable is the one that stands alone and the dependent variable depends on the independent variable. The dependent variable responds to the independent and its creates the results in the experiment. These results can be recorded so you can compare or show the data you recorded. The experiment can have many different trials and thats when you can show what you observed.



Controlled experiment


I looked at a couple different web sites
