Question

hat was the independent variable in your investigation for the simulation with the moths and birch trees?

Question 1 options:

the number of each type of moth


the background tested (the birch trees)


amount of time to catch the moths


the color of the moths

Answer 1

In the context of the simulation involving moths and birch trees, the independent variable would be **the background tested (the birch trees)**. The independent variable is the factor that is changed or manipulated in an experiment to test its effects on the dependent variable. In this case, the background (such as different colors of birch trees) would be what you are changing to see how it affects the number of moths caught or observed.
