What is a dependent variable?
Things we make up
The thing you change
The thing you measure
the thing you keep the same

Problem
Graph
Procedure
Conclusion
23
How is a constant variable different than the dependent variable?
Constant variables are the outcome.
Constant variables are what the scientist is testing.
Constant variables are the same as dependent variables.
Constant Variables remain constant.
