What is a dependant variable?

    If you're talking about a science experiment, it's the result of the independent variable. For example, if the experiment we were doing was seeing how a plant's growth is effected by fertilizer, and we had 2 plants, one with the fertilizer and one without, the growth of the plant WITH the fertilizer would be the dependent variable. I hope that made sense :)

    A dependent variable is a variable that changes with change in time or the surroundings. The dep. var. is what you measure.
