Question

The variables for part 1 of this experiment include the types of materials, used in the cup, the masses of these materials and their temperatures over time. use the drop down menus to complete the sentences and identify the independent and dependent variables.

Answer 1

So, first off let’s look at what an independent and dependent variable is.

an independent variable doesn’t change when other variables change, therefore making it alone and independent.

a dependent variable changes based on other variables.

so, i don’t have enough information on your experiment to know the answer but think to yourself, what is changing over time based on something else changing (dependent variable) or think does this thing stay the same no matter what (independent variable).

hope this helps!
