.

Answer 1

I don’t have the Student Guide or your data, so I can’t fill the blanks for you directly. Here’s how to do it:

- The independent variable is the thing you intentionally change in the experiment — e.g., "temperature," "concentration of X," "type of fertilizer," "light intensity," etc.
- The dependent variable is what you measure in response — e.g., "reaction rate," "plant height," "mass of product," "time to dissolve," etc.

Use this sentence template and insert the appropriate variable names from your procedure/data:

- In this experiment, the [name of what was changed] was intentionally manipulated. This was the independent variable.
- The dependent variable measured was the [name of what you measured].

If you tell me the experiment (or paste the procedure or your data table), I’ll fill the blanks for you.
