Hello Ms. Sue can you double check on my answers please
they are correct.
Your answers are correct! Well done!
In this scenario, Tyrone is measuring the temperature of the tea (dependent variable) at different points in time (independent variable). The dependent variable, temperature, is the variable that is being measured and depends on the independent variable, time. So, the correct fill in the blanks are:

2. Dependent (Temperature)
3. Time
4. Temperature
