Answer:
This question is incomplete; the complete question is as follows:
Pillbugs are placed in a container where they have a choice of a wet or a dry environment. Researchers record how much time was spent on each side. What is the INDEPENDENT and DEPENDENT variables?
The independent variable is WET OR DRY ENVIRONMENT
The dependent variable is TIME SPENT
Explanation:
The independent variable in an experiment is the variable that the experimenter manipulates or changes in order to bring about an effect on the dependent variable.
Conversely, the dependent variable is the variable that the experimenter measures in an experiment. It is dependent on the independent variable.
In this question, the researchers placed pillbugs in containers that are either WET or DRY in order to measure how much time they spent in each side. Hence, the independent variable is the WET or DRY environment the pillbugs were placed because it is what the researcher changes while the dependent variable is the TIME SPENT because it is what the researchers measure.
