Answer: independent variable: Size of the feather.
Explanation:
In an experiment, the manipulated/independent variable is, as the name implies, the variable that the scientist can control.
In this case, the scientist has only one variable that he can control at will, and this is the size of the feather (he can choose which feather he uses for the experiment)
So the manipulated variable will be the size of the feather.
And the dependent variable is the one that "answers" to the changes in the manipulated variable.
In this case, will be the time that it takes to the feather to fall to the ground.
1- You should always have a question for your experiment.
2- You need to conduct background research. It helps to write down your sources so you can cite your references.
3- Propose a hypothesis (educated guess on what you believe the outcome of the experiment will be)
4- Design and perform an experiment to test your hypothesis (include independent and dependent variable)
5- Record observations and analyze what the data means.
6- Conclude whether you need to accept or reject your hypothesis, which accepting means your hypothesis was right and rejected is if it was wrong.
