Question

10. Read the following hypothesis: Plants that receive too much water will not grow well because their roots
begin to rot. Suppose an investigation is planned to explore the hypothesis. What is the independent
variable of the investigation?
the amount of water given to the plants
the type of plant that is used in the experiment
the height of the plants at the end of the experiment
the mass of the plants at the end of the experiment

Answer 1

Answer:

the amount of water given to the plants

Explanation:

the independent variable is the variable that the researcher controls. if you want to see how the amount of water affects roots, you would add less or more water, which is the variable that is being controlled by the researcher!
