Assume that all conditions (soil content, moisture availability, and seed viability) are the same for each seed as it grows. The only variable is the color of the light. Identify which variables are independent and which are dependent within this lab.
The independent variable in this lab would be the color of the light, as this is the variable that is being manipulated and controlled by the researchers. The dependent variable would be the growth of the seeds, as this is the variable that is being measured and affected by the different colors of light.
