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.
<em><u>Sample Response:</u></em> The data for the first part of the experiment support the first hypothesis. As the force applied to the cart increased, the acceleration of the cart increased. Since the increase in the applied force caused the increase in the cart's acceleration, force and acceleration are directly proportional to each other, which is in accordance with Newton's second law.
I believe the albino alligator born in the wild would have a hard time surviving. Due to it being white, the alligator would be camouflaged and therefore easier to spot. This causes a number of troubles, including being unable to hunt very well.
