This month’s activity for the science club is to measure the temperature of the water at different depths in Lake Washington. The club found that the temperature of the water varied. Identify the dependent and independent variables.(1 point)
Responses
i= this month’s activity for the science club
d= the temperature of the water in Lake Washington
i equals this month’s activity for the science club d equals the temperature of the water in Lake Washington
i= the temperature of the water in Lake Washington
d= different depths in Lake Washington
i equals the temperature of the water in Lake Washington d equals different depths in Lake Washington
i= different depths in Lake Washington
d= the temperature of the water in Lake Washington
i equals different depths in Lake Washington d equals the temperature of the water in Lake Washington
i= different depths of Lake Washington
d= this month’s science activity
i equals different depths of Lake Washington d equals this month’s science activity
The correct answer is:
i= different depths in Lake Washington
d= the temperature of the water in Lake Washington
In this scenario, the independent variable is the different depths in Lake Washington, as this is the variable being manipulated or controlled by the researchers. The dependent variable is the temperature of the water in Lake Washington, as it is being measured in response to the changes in depth.
