MartiNguyen,
Welcome to Science Buddies and thanks for the question. Your variables will be determined on what it is you are trying to test. Without understanding in more detail what your project entails, it is difficult to provide advice. If you could give some detail to your project question, hypothisis, etc... someone should be able to help with your question. In the mean-time, this site has a really good project guide, located here:
http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-f ... ndex.shtml
It includes a couple of sections on variables and how to determine what they are.
