Re: Bath Bomb Experiment Question
Hello, and welcome to Science Buddies!
This sounds like a fun project. We would like for the student to take a first attempt at identifying your variables.
Independent variables are those you will change to see if it affects the outcome of your experiment.
Dependent variables are those that you’re measuring to see if their outcome changes due to changes in your independent variables.
Controlled variables are those you will keep constant so they don’t change the outcome you of your experiment (ie, they don’t affect your dependent variable)
You can read more about variables here.

Write back and give us your initial thoughts on variables, and we’ll go from there.
Good luck!
