I am doing an experiment. If you add a tablespoon of dish soap to water, will it affect the number of droplets that can be fit in a penny? All I want to know is what would be the independent variable, the dependent variable, and the controlled.

Independant variable - a variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does not depend on that of another.
Dependant variable - If there is some relation specifying y in terms of x, then y is known as a dependent variable (and x is an independent variable). Statistics. In a statistics experiment, the dependent variable is the event studied and expected to change whenever the independent variable is altered.
