Question
matching 1 point sheldon and leonard do an experiment to test the effect of colored light on plant growth. they design and experiment using three plants of the same type. one plant is under natural sunlight, one under red light, and one under green light. after one week, they measure the height of the plants. correctly identify each variable. independent variable control variable dependent variable sheldon and leonard color of light same type of plant height of plant growth
The independent variable is what is changed in an experiment. Here, the color of light is manipulated (natural sunlight, red light, green light). The control variable is kept constant to ensure only the independent - variable affects the outcome. The same type of plant is used to control for plant - specific factors. The dependent variable is what is measured as a result of the change in the independent variable, which is the height of plant growth.
