I am working on the "Shimmy Shimmy Soda Pop" experiment and need to label my variables. I think the Sugar is the Independent Variable, the Citric Acid is the Constant and the Baking Soda is the DV. Can you confirm this?
Thank you!!

Re: Help identify independent variable, DV and Constant
Do you need more information to help me answer this question? I think the DV is the baking soda because it depends on the Constant of the Citric acid (always added 1/4 tsp.) to make the solution. Then, I think the IV is the Sugar because it is independent of the baking soda and citric acid part of the experiment. Please let me know if that makes sense.
