Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

i'm doing the candy chromatography project but i can seem to figure out my indepdent , dependent variables and my control

Read these two pages about variables and if you still have questions after reading them, then we can help you further.

Variables for Beginners: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... test.shtml
Indepedent, Depentent, and Controlled Variables: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... bles.shtml

Both of those have some great examples and do a good job of explaining what the differences between the variables are.
