How much fat is in your food? Variables

Post by deleted-680245 »

What are the dependent, independent variables, constants, and control group for the project: How much fat is in our food?

Link to experiment:https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... -your-food

If you cannot tell me, somehow please explain to me what is a dependent variable, independent variable, constant, and control group.

Thank you for your help and please reply ASAP because my project is due at 2 pm!!!

Hello and my apologies that no one has responded to your plea for help!

The Science Buddies project guide has an excellent section explaining dependent, independent and controls. Check out the section labeled "Constructing a Hypothesis":

I realize that you might have already had to submit your project for this term. Hopefully the information in the Project Guide will be helpful to you for your next project.

PS Hint: the experts here are really enthusiastic about helping students, however, they are not magicians! So please plan ahead next time and ask for help when you start your project rather than waiting until the day it is due!
