Dependent, Independent and Control Variables. Write Your Answer Under The Right Column

The document describes 4 research problems involving experiments with variables. Problem 1 involves testing the effect of different amounts of household detergent on plant growth, with the independent variable being the amount of detergent and the dependent variable being plant growth. Problem 2 involves testing the effect of different types of fish food on fish survival, with the independent variable being the type of food and the dependent variable being fish survival. Problem 3 involves testing the effectiveness of different brands of bleach at removing coffee stains from shirts, with the independent variable being the brand of bleach and the dependent variable being the size of the remaining stain. Problem 4 involves testing the effect of sunlight on plant growth, with the independent variable being the exposure to sunlight and the dependent variable being the

PROBLEM VARIABLES

INDEPENDENT DEPENDENT CONTROL

1. Sassy, a grade 7
student, conducted
an activity about how
household detergent
affects plant growth.
She placed the same
kind of plants in three
separate pots ( Pots
A, B, C) with the
same kind of soil. On
pot A, she applied 1
scoop of detergent in
one gallon of water in
pot A, 2 scoops of
detergent in one
gallon of water in pot
B, and only water in
pot C

2. Harry bought two


identical aquariums,
labelled as A and B,
each containing the
same kind, number
and size of fish. The
amount of water, light
and air were the
same for both.
He fed the fish in
aquarium A with
commercial fish
pellets while home-
made fish pellets in
aquarium B. The next
day, all the fish in
aquarium B died
while in aquarium A
remain alive.

3. Maria wanted to
find out which of the
two brands of bleach,
A or B, is more
effective in removing
coffee stain from
white shirt. She made
mixtures of the two
bleaches with the
same amount of
water and soaked
white shirts with the
same size of stain
into each mixture for
two minutes. After
soaking, she
measured the size of
the stain left on each
shirt.

4. Casey wanted to
investigate how
sunlight affects the
growth of plants. She
had two mongo bean
plants, A and B. She
put plant A beside the
window where there
is adequate sunlight
and put plant B under
the table where it
sunlight cannot
reach. She gave the
same amount of
water and fertilizer on
both plants. After one
week, she measured
the length of the stem
of each plant.
