I am looking into a science fair project and found this amazing one http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/Chem_p053.shtml#procedure
But I can't figure out which one is the independent variable and which one is the dependent variable.

well, hopefully my understanding of the experiment is correct

the independent variable is what is being changed/manipulated in the experiment, which is the type of liquid being used

the dependent variable is what is  measured, which is the conductance
