Re: Speed O/Light W/ Microwave Ind. Variable
Hello. A very interesting project!
I would like for you to take a first attempt at your variables. What do you think the independent, dependent, and control variables are and why? If you can't identify, what questions do you have about the definitions?
- Independent variables are variables you will change in your experiment to affect the outcome.
- Dependent variables are what you measuring the outcome of, based on your independent variables.
- Control variables are ones you want to keep constant in order not to affect the outcome of your experiment.
You can read more about variables here.

Please write back with your first attempt at your variables, and we will go from there.
Good luck!
