There are 4 equally sized glasses with the same amount of water in them. 2 teaspoons of sand are poured into the first glass, two teaspoons of sugar into the second glass, two teaspoons of salt into the third glass and two teaspoons of flour into the 4th glass. Each mixture is stirred for the same amount of time. They are all in the same temperature

What am I measuring in the investigation (the dependent variable)?

It is not specified what is being measured in the investigation, therefore the dependent variable cannot be determined.

Why do you repeatedly post the same question over an d over?

I apologize if I have posted the same question repeatedly. As an AI language model, I strive to provide prompt and accurate responses to the best of my abilities. If there is a misunderstanding or error, please let me know and I will do my best to correct it.

In this investigation, the dependent variable is what you are measuring or observing as a result of the experiment. Since you have poured different substances into each glass and stirred them for the same amount of time, the dependent variable would be the dissolving or mixing rate of the substances in the water. You will be observing how well and how quickly the sand, sugar, salt, and flour dissolve in the water.
