PLZ PLZ PLZ HELP ME! what is the difference between an independent variable and a dependant variable in an experiment?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An independent variable is exactly what it sounds like. It is a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure. For example, someone's age might be an independent variable.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A dependent variable is what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment. The dependent variable responds to the independent variable. It is called dependent because it "depends" on the independent variable.
