    The document describes 6 scientific scenarios that involve independent and dependent variables. The independent variable is the factor that is manipulated or changed, while the dependent variable is the factor that is measured and responds to changes in the independent variable. For each scenario, the document identifies the independent variable, which is the factor that is changed, and the dependent variable, which is the factor that is measured in response to the change.
