The independent variable is the temperature. Independent variable refers to the variable in an experiment that can be changed by the scientists or the one making the experiment. A good experiments has a single independent variable and the changes observed will be the dependent variable. In this case, the dependent variable is the gender of the turtle.
A hypothesis is an educated guess. This is part of the scientific method developed in science to explain natural phenomena in the environment. Usually scientists use the hypothesis in their controlled experiments.
Whether it is a fact or not scientists use the hypothesis as a basis or a starting point for further explanations. This is known as the scientific hypothesis. When an educated guess yields the same results over time, the answer is called a theory. Something that is widely accepted but still needs to be proven and investigated further.
