Question

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

Answer 1

i = different depths of Lake Washington

d = the temperature of the water in Lake Washington

In this scenario, the independent variable is the different depths of Lake Washington, as this is what the science club is manipulating or changing. The dependent variable is the temperature of the water in Lake Washington, as this is what is being measured and affected by the different depths.
