Yes, I am sure. The independent variable is the one that the researcher actively manipulates or controls in the experiment. In this case, Samantha is manipulating the amount of sunlight, so it is the independent variable. The height of the plants and the duration of the experiment are dependent variables that are measured or observed as a result of the independent variable.
