In the experiment to measure the heat absorbed by a material placed in
the Sun, we have;
- The independent variable is either the angle of insulation or the type of material
- The dependent variable is the temperature of the material
- The controlled variable is the type of material when the angle of insulation is the independent variable and vice versa
What differentiates the given experimental variables?
The possible experiment is with regards to the factors that influence energy from the Sun
The factors investigated are;
The type of material and the angle of lighting (insulation) affects the absorption of heat
The independent variable is the variable that is the cause of the effect
measured in the experiment.
It is the variable that the researcher has control over or controls and
varies during the experiment to produce the measured effect.
In the above experiment, the independent variable are either ;
- The angle of insulation or the type of material respectively
The dependent variable is the variable that is under test or that is being measured.
- In the above experiment the dependent variable is the temperature of the material which can be measured
The controlled variable is the variable that remains the same or is held
constant during the experiment and can be used as reference to
compare the dependent variable.
In the experiment, the controlled variable are either;
- The type of material when the angle of insulation is the independent variable or vice versa
