Activity 2: Identifying variables
Directions: Identify the Independent, Dependent and Extraneous variable/s
in each of the following situations.
1. Three groups of students were placed in a classroom with controlled
room temperatures of 18°C, 20°C, 25°C. The math exam scores of the

4. Jenny is only borrowing the cellphone chargers of her brother, sister and
mother because
she lost her phone charger. All chargers are of the same specifications as
hers even
though they have different phone brands. However, she would like to

turnaround time
in the submission of accomplished activities among her Grade 12 students.
She divided
the students into 3 groups, gave them the same activity sheets and asked
them to submit
as soon as it is completed. She then compared the scores and completion
time of the 3
groups.
Independent variable: ___________________________________
