Science Practical Worksheet Variables
Independent Variable
The independent variable is the variable that you change or select the values for. The
values might be measurements, for example the length of time spent doing exercise, or
categories, such as the different types of exercise you will do.
Dependent Variable
The dependent variable is the variable that is measured for each change of the independent
variable.
Control Variables
A control variable is one that may, in addition to the independent variable, affect the
outcome of the investigation and therefore must be kept constant.
Write down the variables you need to control in this investigation and explain how you will
control them.
