Scenario Independent Dependent Experimental Control

Variable Variable Group Group
A company wants to test a new dog food that 14. 15. 16. 17.
is supposed to help overweight dogs lose
weight. 50 dogs are chosen to get the new
food, and 50 more continue their normal diets.
After one month, the dogs are checked to
see if they lost any weight.

A new sunscreen has been developed that is 18. 19. 20. 21.
supposed to be more effective at preventing
sunburn. 30 participants spray one arm with
the new formula, and spray the other arm
with the leading formula. After 4 hours in the
sun, their skin is evaluated for any redness.

A student wants to study the effect of sunlight 22. 23. 24. 25.
on plant growth. In his experiment, 12 plants
receive normal amounts of sunlight, but half of
them are kept under bright sun lamps all night
long. After 6 weeks, the plants’ heights are
measured.
