Question

Independent Variable (units): Dependent Variable (units):
pots and soil
Independent Variable (units): – pots and soil
Dependent Variable (units): – pots and soil
temperature
Independent Variable (units): – temperature
Dependent Variable (units): – temperature
amount of days
Independent Variable (units): – amount of days
Dependent Variable (units): – amount of days
color of light
Independent Variable (units): – color of light
Dependent Variable (units): – color of light
amount of water
Independent Variable (units): – amount of water
Dependent Variable (units): – amount of water

Answer 1

It seems that there is a mistake in the prompt, as independent variables are typically not measured in units. Independent variables are the factors that are manipulated or controlled by the researcher. In this case, the independent variables are likely the different levels of pots and soil, temperature, amount of days, color of light, and amount of water. The dependent variable, on the other hand, is the variable that is being measured or observed as a result of the changes in the independent variables. It is not clear what the dependent variable is in this lab without further information.

Answer 2

are pots and soil a independent variable (units)

Answer 3

No, pots and soil are not independent variables with units. They are typically considered as a factor or condition in an experiment, but they do not have numerical units. They represent a specific condition or treatment that is being compared or tested.
